Former House of Representatives member, Hon.

The 2026 event took place on October 10, 2026, during which Ibezi declared his support for presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi and re-election candidate Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central Senatorial District.
The move was seen as a significant setback for APGA and its local candidates ahead of upcoming elections.
At a reception held in Ibezi's honor, he expressed his unwavering support for the NDC candidates in Idemili North and South, as well as Orumba North and South federal constituencies, Eric Anyamene and Hon. Okwudili Nwankwo, respectively. The former federal lawmaker pledged to rally his supporters to ensure a successful campaign for these candidates.
Ibezi was officially welcomed into the NDC alongside numerous supporters from his Idemili area, who also abandoned APGA, viewing him as their trusted political leader. Senator Umeh praised Ibezi's grassroots background, emphasizing his proven ability to deliver results.
