The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and All Progressives Congress, APC in Imo North Senatorial District of Imo State have collapsed their party structure into the Labor Party and pledged allegiance to Peter Obi.
About two thousand people joined the Labor Party at a ceremony at Umuaro community in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.
Chikwem Onuoha, Former Deputy Chief of Staff to a former governor of the state, said that the decision was made after they realized Peter Obi is the best presidential candidate.
He said: “Today, APC and 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 symbolizes 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 Labor 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 also hinted at mobilizing their youths to get their PVC ahead of the 2023 election.
