The Labour Party has claimed that over five governors and other political leaders are supporting its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Disclosing this in Ado Ekiti during a sensitisation programme over the weekend, the party’s Deputy National Chairman, Bashiru Apapa announced that new supporters troop into the party daily to support Obi.
Apapa, however, insisted the party would not mention the names of the governors for now.
He added: “There are some people who you may not believe are coming up to support Obi; some leaders up to heads of state are in support of Obi.
“Many governors, more than five of them, are supporting the party underneath. We don’t want to mention their names for now.
He noted also that everybody is embracing the party because of its popularity; definitely, the APC and PDP are afraid.”
