2023: Peter Obi's Campaign Director Resigns, Dumps Labour Party

Barely few weeks to the presidential election the Campaign Director of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi in Bauchi State, Alhassan Bawu, has left the party.

Mr Bawu dumped the LP for the the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Bawu, who defected to the PDP with other officials of the party in the Northeast, blamed the lack of LP structure at the State, local and ward levels for the decision.

While announcing his defection in Bauchi on Tuesday, he said: “The LP is not strong and won’t be able to win a single seat in the region.’’

“We don’t want to waste our votes and we want to use this time to mobilize votes to who can win the election,” he added.

He said all the chairmen of the party, state and zonal officers as well as national officers from the zone have defected to back the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
