The ceremony at which Nnewi South PDP Local Government and Ward Executives defected to Labour Par
It was a grand occasion today, Wednesday, July 7, 2021, as the entire Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) executives in Nnewi South Local Government both at the Local Government and the entire 20 Wards decamped to the Labour Party.
The former PDP stalwarts were received by the Labour Party’s Gubernatorial Candidate for the November 6, 2021 elections, Mr. Obiora Agbasimalo, at a ceremony at Ezinifite, Nnewi South Local Government.
The decampees led by their Chairman, Chief Alphonsus Ofoke, who is also a very close personal aide of another PDP stalwart, Chief Linus Ukachukwu, said they decided to identify with Labour Party because of the sterling qualities of the Governorship Candidate, whom he said “has exhibited humility and a clear vision of how to move Anambra State forward.”
Receiving the new members, Mr. Obiora Agbasimalo congratulated them “for taking a wise decision” and assured them that “the Labour Party is home to all and that there is no discrimination in the party.” Agbasimelo also assured them that they would all work together in winning the state for the Labour Party and properly position Anambra as the best state to live and do so business in Nigeria.
