Edo Lawmaker , representing Egor/ Ikpoba-Okha federal constituency at the National Assembly, Hon. Murphy Osaro Omoruyi has formally submitted his resignation .
In a letter of resignation addressed to the Chairman, Labour Party ward 10, Egor Local Government Area of Edo State, a copy made available to journalists in Benin City, the federal lawmaker said that his decision to exit the Party was with immediate effect.
The letter dated 30th December 2025 reads in part, ” You will recall my consistent commitment and loyalty to the Party over the years, even at a time majority of members particularly those elected alongside me, had exited the party. My decision to remain steadfast during that period earned me the sobriquet, ” The Last Man Standing,” a testament to my belief in the ideal and vision the Party once represented.
Hon. Omoruyi, in the resignation letter, said, ” Due to prolonged internal crises, leadership division, and unresolved disagreements that have continued to plague the party for several years, I have reached the difficult conclusion that the Labour Party no longer represents a credible platform for advancing the collective aspiration of moving Nigeria forward”.
According to the former Labour Party chieftain, his decision to leave the party was a product of wide consultations with family, friends, political associates, and members of the Obidient Movement who have played significant and invaluable roles in his political journey.
Hon. Omoruyi, however, hinted of plan to explore other political options that will enable him alongside other well – meaning Nigerians to effectively challenge the inefficient ruling order and work towards building a new Nigeria that truly serves the interests of all citizens.
He expressed his profound gratitude to the Labour Party ,Egor Ward 10 Chairman, and his executives for their support and wished the party well in its future pursuits.
Meanwhile, Honourable Omoruyi, on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, accompanied the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi to Enugu as he formally joins the African Democratic Party (ADC).
