Former governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi who dumped the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has joined Labour Party to contest the 2023 presidential election.
Obi announced his resignation in a letter dated 20, addressed to the National Chairman of the party.
In a Facebook post, Obi gave reasons for joining Labour Party, he wrote: “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.
“For me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter.
“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 #LabourParty 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”.
