Peter Obi joins Labour Party

Former governor of Anambra State and presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has joined Labour Party.

Obi made this known via his verified Twitter handle on Friday.

The latest development is coming barely two days after Obi dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The presidential aspirant, in a letter addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, said the recent developments within the PDP made it impossible for him to continue his presidential ambition on the platform of the main opposition party.

However, the former governor, in a series of tweets on Friday, expressed his appreciation to youths, saying he has chosen a route he considered to be in line “with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production”.

He stated: “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.

“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,” Peter Obi said.
