Former federal lawmaker Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, who once represented Bayelsa East Senatorial District in Bayelsa State, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce made the announcement on Wednesday via a personally signed statement shared on his official Facebook page.
In the statement, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing him as the first leader in Nigeria’s history who genuinely understands finance. He commended Tinubu for viewing the economy not as a political tool, but as a dynamic system that should be disciplined, deregulated, and given the freedom to thrive.
“The painful reforms we face today are the very foundation of tomorrow’s prosperity. We are moving into a free-market economy, one that rewards hard work and innovation instead of dependency and distortion.
“Look around you: under this administration, the appointment of the National Security Adviser has redefined our national safety architecture. Insecurity is being quietly and systematically dismantled. The Central Bank, now professionally steered, is stabilizing the economy, rebuilding confidence, and restoring the dignity of the naira.
“Our foreign policy is again respected. Our fuel supply is deregulated. We will never again live through the humiliation of fuel scarcity. The numbers are beginning to speak, investments are returning, and the world is watching Nigeria rise again.
“And beyond economics, Bola Tinubu’s infrastructural drive is unprecedented; from massive road networks to modernized ports, airports and housing schemes springing up across the nation. These developments are not just concrete and steel; they are the arteries through which growth and opportunity now flow.
“I know it is still a difficult season for many families. But as history teaches, reform is never painless. Yet, it is in these moments of sacrifice that nations are reborn.
“That is why today, I am joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), not for politics, but for progress. Because I believe that Bola Tinubu’s leadership, guided by courage and intellect, will deliver the Nigeria we have all dreamed of.
“Mark my words: in the full term of eight years, Nigeria will witness phenomenal growth. I choose to stand with that vision. I choose to stand with reform. I choose to stand with the future, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce.
It was reported earlier reported that the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri on Wednesday dumped the opposition party.
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce defected to the ruling APC alongside his cabinet members and local government officials.
