The former governor of Anambra State just joined the Labour Party.
Obi joined the LP after resigning from the Peoples Democratic Party, despite being a presidential candidate for the party.
Obi stated that he resigned because he believes in cultivating a country of producers rather than consumers.
“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.”
A total of 185 delegates were registered to vote in the election of one of four candidates running on the Labour Party's platform in the upcoming presidential election.
