Few days after dumping the main opposition party in Nigeria, the former Anambra State Governor and presidential hopeful, Peter Obi has formally pitched tent with the Labour Party to pursue his presidential aspiration.

He is expected to contest the presidential primary on the platform of his new party.

While announcing his new party in his verified twitter handle, Obi thanked his supporters especially the youths who have joined him “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,” he vowed.
