Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has joined the Labour Party few days after dumping the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, saying the party was the right platform that aligned with his aspiration.

According to him, I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production.

Obi, who is seeking to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), after the expiration of his regime in 2023, disclosed this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle on Friday.

He wrote, “I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria. This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator.

“Since I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my persona and principles, I have consulted widely with various parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination.

“For me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter.

“Therefore, I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production; and that is the Labour Party which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.

“I invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured that I’ll never let you down.”

The presidential hopeful had Wednesday dumped the PDP in his bid to actualise his presidential ambition.

The PUNCH had reported that Obi in a letter addressed to the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, announced his resignation from the party despite purchasing the N40m PDP presidential forms.

He, however, said he was happy to have contributed to the growth of the country through the PDP.

Obi said, “I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, which was conveyed to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2. Anaocha LGA Anambra, effective Friday 20 May, 2022. Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal for the PDP Presidential Primaries.

“It has been a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through our party. Unfortunately, recent developments within our party make it practically impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.

“Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs.

“I wish to thank you personally for your graciousness and leadership. I wish you well and best of luck in the service of the country.”

Putinofrussia:
I am not a politician and I have never met or gotten any benefit from Tinubu but I have seen his antecedents everywhere he has been.His being radiates development,growth,victory...positivities more than negativities.He has a positive aura...so to say.
None of the other aspirants has gotten this gift.
It is a gift.
A lot of people especially his haters will be surprised but he will triumph.
Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria.

Gandollaar:
LoL...

Exercise in futility.

When will Peter Obi be cleared?

donaldking10:
with the blessing from buhari & the cabals, the north would vote for him massively.
The south-east & the south-south would most definitely also vote massively for him.
The Drug Baron can kiss his presidential ambitions good-bye.
Mr Bullion-Van can now retire to an old people's home in London.

gbaskiboy:
On Tinubu Manhood I stand

PrinceOfLagos:
Buhari and his cabals are strongly behind Ebele goodluck azikiwe Jonathan so I don't see him losing to Tinubu that no one truly loves except his money

Jonathan is the man

HIGHESTPOPORI:
As far as Tinubu doesn't get the Apc ticket, Nigeria is good

OkoroBufo:
If e easy, go and build AkPuGA. All of them go collect, all redcap politicians go collect, Okorocha don dey collect, OUK, Peter Obi don collect. Dem must collect, they lack strategic planning but hoping the ticket would be thrown on their laps. Nigeria politics is far above palm wine politics. Palmwine politicians must collect. Ipob pigs must collect.

Which obi? The major problem with you guys is you tend to over estimate your importance. Obi couldn't even deliver his state in the last election wants to be handed the party tickets of major political party? A political liability.

So Dosumu no get the ticket ? J

grandstar:
I foresee the same happening to Tinubu but he won't ask for his money back. He is going to be betrayed.

I don't see how Northern or Southeastern regions of the country will vote for a man notorious as a godfather. They won't want a Yoruba overlord over them. That is the blunt truth.

Atiku Abubakar spent heavily during the 2011 primaries and thought he had everything in the bag only for GEJ to come out as the winner. Osinbajo is the GEJ of the 2022 APC presidential primaries.

Evidenx:
If you like follow tinubu to join his ANCESTORS. He will not be president.

This I have seen.

Afonjakid:
If Atiku gets the ticket, I don't see any other person beating him except maybe if Amaechi gets it.

Tinubu has no chance. The only place he can win is in the SW

SensetionalGoal:
I will never doubt Obi's decisions...

He must have seen what we are not seeing
Though I would have loved him to clinch the presidency through PDP...

LegendHero:
I never believed I will see a day where Obi Pandora supporters will be soliciting SDP ticket.

Dailymice:
Please leave SDP and join NNPP with Kwankwaso
