No fewer than 50 members of Labour Party (LP), including the State Secretary, have joined the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ebonyi State.

It was gathered that the LP members are aggrieved over the running of the party in the state.

News Express learnt that NNPP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, received the former LP members during his one-day campaign visit to the state.

The gubernatorial candidate of NNPP in Ebonyi State, Prophet Chris Adol-Awam, made this known while addressing the national leadership of the party, together with the presidential candidate, during a town hall meeting which took place at the Geneza Hotels Road Abakaliki, the capital, on Friday.

According to him, “We are very proud of the NNPP Presidential Candidate, Kwankwaso. And, we believe that he will win the forthcoming general election as the next President of Nigeria. He has the capacity to transform Nigeria.

“The members of the Labour Party are here with us and they want to work with us. The secretary, youths and women leaders have identified with us, not as spectators but as trusted and reliable members.”

Adol-Awam inaugurated the Ebonyi NNPP Governorship Campaign Council at the occasion.
