Former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has emerged the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party of Nigeria for the 2023 elections.
He was elected unopposed early Monday afternoon, May 30, 2022, during the party’s National Convention, which is on-going at Orchid Hotel, Asaba, Delta State.
Our correspondent reports that the coast became clear for Mr. Obi when his challenger, erudite political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, stepped down for him, saying: “Obi must be given the opportunity to govern this country.”
The Labour Party had crashed on Friday night, May 27, 2022 – hours after Mr. Obi, a popular 2023 presidential aspirant, joined the party.
Mr. Obi, who resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday, had announced his switch to Labour Party on Friday evening, urging Nigerians, particularly the youth, to join him in his news political party.
