…says Peter Obi’s party lacked structure at ward, local and State levels, hence their decision to defect to PDP
A Director of the Peter Obi presidential campaign council in Bauchi State, Alhassan Bawu has dumped the Labour Party.
This development is coming barely two weeks to the 2023 presidential election.
Bawu defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Explaining his decision, Bawu said he defected to the PDP to support the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Bauchi, he said the entire LP leaders in the Northeast had joined the PDP.
He disclosed that the defectors believed Atiku had the capacity to lead Nigeria.
Bawu said the LP lacked structure at ward, local and State levels, hence their decision to defect to PDP.
He said: “We believe the LP is not strong enough to win a single seat in the North-East.
“We are officially declaring that all the North-East executives of Labour Party are defecting to PDP to support Atiku.
“We don’t want to waste our votes, and we want to use this time to mobilise votes to who has the capacity to win the election.”
