Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese
The member representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has emerged as the Labour Party candidate for the constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This followed an affirmation by party members across the three local government areas that make up the federal constituency.
A statement from the media office of the LP chieftain on Sunday noted that a total of 52,000 votes were recorded in the direct primary election conducted across the constituency, underscoring his growing influence within the party barely months after his defection from the All Progressives Congress.
Agbese, who serves as Deputy Spokesperson of the House, formally joined the Labour Party after announcing his departure from the APC on the floor of the House.
