BREAKING: Peter Obi Joins Labour Party Days After Dumping PDP

TRIXX NG reports former Governor of Anambra State and presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, has officially joined the Labour Party (LP).

This is coming two days after he dumped Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrew his presidential ambition under the party.

In a statement on his official Twitter page on Friday, Obi announced his defection to the Labour Party.

According to Obi, he left PDP because “of issues that are at variance with my personal and principles.”

He also thanked the youths for the encouragement.

The former governor registered as a member of the Labour party in Agulu Ward 2 in Anambra on Friday to the admiration of his supporters.

He is expected to participate in the party’s presidential primary election slated for next week Tuesday in Abuja.

The statement reads: “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,” he said.

“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 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.”
