LABOUR PARTY SYNONYMOUS WITH MY MANTRA OF TAKING NIGERIA FROM CONSUMPTION TO PRODUCTION – PETER OBI
Abuja: Mr Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor and erstwhile presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has stated that he joined the Labour Party, LP, since it was “synonymous with his mantra of taking Nigeria from consumption to production”.
This was contained in a statement issued on his official Twitter account about thirty minutes ago, which read as follows:
“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.

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. -PO”
Most likely, Obi arrived at that strategic decision after his recent trip to London, where he met with the British Prime Minister, and other British officials.
He also met with members of the British Labour Party. The Labour Party is an international political party, existing in about 60 countries across the world. As such, it has great international contacts to leverage on.
In fact, it is the Nigerian political party that has is found in other countries outside the shores of Nigeria.
