Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has emerged the presidential candidate of the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 general election.
Obi was chosen unopposed earlier today during the party’s National Convention, at Orchid Hotel, Asaba, Delta State.
The coast became clear for Obi when his challenger, political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, stepped down for him, saying: “Obi must be given the opportunity to govern this country.”
Obi, who resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday, had announced his switch to Labour Party on Friday evening, urging Nigerians, particularly the youth, to join him in his news political party.
