Barely six days to the February 25th presidential and National Election in Nigeria, a faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has endorsed the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
The endorsement was announced at the press conference organized by the leadership of the party (ADC) in Abuja on Monday.
The ADC, largely factionalised, has some members supporting the party’s flag bearer, Dumebi Kachikwu, while other groups within the party are not in support of his candidacy.
In attendance at the event include the ADC National Chairman, Raphael Nwosu as well as LP chieftain and Obi’s right hand man, Pat Utomi.
The ADC Chairman said after weighing presidential candidates in the country ahead of Saturday’s poll, it is the party’s conviction to back Obi.
According to him, “it is indeed our conviction that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed will include good governance and accountability.”
However, Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed were not at the event as they were said to be in Zaria, Kaduna State for a rally.
