The Labour Party LP has described the defection of its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the African Democratic Congress ADC as a relief, saying the party has been "finally liberated" by his exit.
In a strongly worded statement titled "Labour Party Finally Liberated by Peter Obi's Defection" , the party also asked Nigerians to forgive it for fielding what it described as an "unfitting" presidential candidate in the last general election.
The statement, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, said the LP leadership had taken note of Obi's defection to the ADC on Wednesday in Enugu, as well as the address he delivered at the event.
