Peter Obi Joins Labour Party, To Contest For President I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria. This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator. Since I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my personal and principles, I have consulted widely with various parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination. For me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter. 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.

A CALL FOR THE IMMEDIATE STOP TO THE VIOLENCE AND KILLINGS IN ANAMBRA STATE AND PUNISHMENT OF THE PERPETRATORS: - STATEMENT BY THE LEAGUE OF ANAMBRA PROFESSIONALS.   The bewildering largescale bloodletting and arson which has left Anambra State tethering on the brink of anarchy for some months now descended to a new low in the past couple of weeks.  This banality of evil has etched in its infernal scorecard extremities like the beheading of Dr. Okey Okoye, the legislator representing Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly and Hajira Jubril, the pregnant young lady murdered with her four little children.   We condemn in very strong terms the widespread grievous criminality which has gripped Anambra State and the South East in general in the guise of agitations, and find the following reminders apposite. We warned of the dire consequences when criminal elements started their systematic delegitimization of the law enforcement agencies ...
