The presidential aspirant of the National Rescue Movement has decamp from the party to support labour party presidential candidate, peter obi.
This is seen as a significant boost to the aspirations of peter obi and labour party, in securing the presidential seat.
LP in a post on its Twitter account on Wednesday night revealed that Martin Agbaso and his supporters, Emeka Mandela, a presidential aspirant aligned with Obi’s ambition.
According to the party, the presidential organisation of Mandela officially fell into Labor Party for the former Governor of Anambra State.
The support for the presidential ambition of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labor Party (LP) has gotten a boost as a presidential aspirant of the National Rescue Movement implodes his design into the party.
This is coming at a time LP is working on merging with the New Nigeria Peoples Party and its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso ahead of the 2023 race.
Obi and Kwankwaso have met on the chance of merging to push out the All Progressives Congress and the New Nigeria People’s Party
However, there is a hindrance as no presidential candidate is prepared to step down to be the other’s, running mate.
Declaring the advancement on Wednesday, the party expressed, “Labour Party today welcomed new members to our great party. New members include Chief Martin Agbaso & His Supporters, Dr Emeka Mandela (Presidential Aspirant of National Rescue Movement -NRM) who’s a presidential organization officially collapsed into the Labour Party for Peter Obi.”
