Reactions As Peter Obi Joins Labour Party
Reactions have trailed the movement of the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, to the Labour Party.
Naija News had earlier reported that Obi registered as a member of the party in his ward in Anambra State on Friday.
In a statement on his official Twitter page on Friday, Obi announced his defection to the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The former governor said he joined the party because it is in line with his aspirations and mantra of taking the country from consumption to production.
Obi said he pitched his tent with Labour Party which he said is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.
Some netizens have taken to social media to congratulate Obi on his defection to the Labour Party and assure him of their votes, while others mocked him for joining a party which has no political structure.
See some of the reactions below.

I left my business today to go register for PVC. I did it for Peter Obi, and for my future. At Inec office today, 99.9% of persons who throng the Inec office, said they were registering for the first time, and that they came because of Peter Obi. What a man! My President
