Abia 2023: Massive defection hits LP as 3200 members decamp to PDP

No fewer than 3200 party members have dumped the Labour Party (LP) for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Obingwa and Isiala-Ngwa South Local Government Areas of Abia State.

Labour Party ’s supporters gather during a campaign rally at Adamasingba Stadium in Ibadan, southwestern Nigeria, on November 23, 2022, ahead of the 2023 Nigerian presidential election.

Similarly in Isiala-Ngwa South, the former LP members said they decamped because of the excessively elitist nature of their former party’s governorship candidate, Dr Alex Otti as well as his inaccessibility to common citizens. Other PDP Chieftains who joined the TC Chairman in receiving the decampees at the event include Dr Chris Nwagboso, Chief Uzoma Ihuka, Elder Godwin Nna, Barr Emeka Eze, Chief Lucky Adindu and the PDP ward Chairman.
