Hundreds of members of some major political parties in Ondo State have defected to the Labour Party just weeks before the general election.
He said, “Obi is the candidate to beat because he has proven to be competent among other candidates. His records while he held sway in Anambra are in the public domain; he didn’t get all of that by subterfuge but by dint of hard work.
“I am here to sell the candidature of Obi to my supporters, and I told them the reason why he must be elected, particularly his plans to move the country from consumption to the state of production.” Earlier, the party’s state secretary, Mr Agabje Abiodun, who welcomed the defectors into the party, advised them to campaign for LP in every part of the state.
He stated that the immediate past governor of the state, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, performed well when he governed the state on the platform of the Labour Party from 2009 to 2014, hence the party must be voted based on antecedents.All rights reserved.
