Setback For Peter Obi As Adamawa LP Guber Candidate Declare Support For Tinubu

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Adamawa State, Umar Mustapha, has dumped the presidential candidate of his party, Peter Obi and declared support for the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate had declared support for Tinubu alongside his supporters.

Mustapha also collapsed his structure in Adamawa into that of the APC to garner votes for the former Lagos State governor.

Speaking to newsmen, Mustapha, popularly known as Otumba, said he found the people who ran the Labour party in the state to be as bad as the system he wanted to see changed.

According to The PUNCH, Mustapha said his decision and that of his supporters, to support the candidate of another political party both at the national and state levels was made after it became clear to him that the party in the state will get nowhere based on the way it was set up in the state.

Recall that the the governorship candidate and his supporters had boycotted the presidential campaign rally of Peter Obi.

Mustapha had accused the party’s leadership and the LP Presidential Campaign Council of sidelining him.
