The Labour Party, Imo State chapter, has said it will not follow its former presidential candidate, Peter Obi to his new party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Speaking to newsmen on Obi’s exit, the State chairman of the party, Calistus Ihejiagba affirmed that the party will exist with or without the former Anambra State governor.
According to him, “Labour Party will continue to exist in Imo; we are going nowhere, we will work towards making the party stronger in Imo. Our party is still the masses party, and we’re here to stay.”
Southeastposts reports that Peter Obi’s decision to join the ADC has sparked controversy, with speculations that the LP in Imo State might split and follow him.
