Members of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress in Imo North Senatorial District have collapsed their structures into the Labour Party, stating that Peter Obi is the best presidential material for the 2023 election.
A former Deputy Chief of Staff to a former Imo State governor, Chikwem Onuoha, said that the decision was reached after concluding that the APC and the PDP had misruled Nigeria for the past 23 years.
He stated this on Sunday during a ceremony at Umuaro community in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of the state, where at least 2,000 people joined the LP.
The APC chieftain said, “Today, the APC and the PDP are dead in Okigwe zone. We have resolved to collapse our structures in the zone into the Labour Party and to work for the victory of Peter Obi. Peter Obi symbolises the hope of the ordinary people of Nigeria.
“Peter Obi is tested and trusted and he has the support of the people who vote during the election. Apart from Obi, we will vote LP all through. The Labour Party is for a mass movement. We are wiser and we want to take back our country.”
The President General of the Okigwe North Youth Progressives Forum, Chidinma Onyenagubo, said that his group was mobilising people to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards to vote for LP In 2023.
