Former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi has joined the Labour Party (LP) after withdrawing from the presidential primaries on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He made this announcement on Friday in a statement issued from his verified Twitter handle.
The statement reads in part, “I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria. This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator.
“Since I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my persona and principles, I have consulted widely with various parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination.
“Therefore, I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production; and that is the Labour Party which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.
“I invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured that I’ll never let you down”.
Recall that on 24th May 2022, Obi resigned from the PDP in a letter addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
