Fears and trembling in the camp of The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar as another prominent member of the party and a serving senator dumps him for Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
With just three weeks to the general election, Atiku’s camp have received a huge blow as Dr Uche Ekwunife, the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District join other decampees from the PDP to throw support behind Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to News Express reports, the PDP distinguished Senator disclosed this in a meeting with prominent Stakeholders and other members of the party at a town hall meeting in Agulu town on Sunday.
The Senator who had regarded herself as Peter Obi’s mentee during his days in PDP charged her people to vote the Labour Party presidential candidate while also voting her as a PDP candidate in the Senatorial slot.
Speaking in Igbo, she said, “Vote for me in PDP. In the presidential election, we all know where we are going to vote. We are politicians. We know this game very well. It’s on our fingertips. Peter Obi is our son and my mentor; we can’t work against him.
“But what I’m asking you is to vote for me in PDP. At the presidential level we all know who is our preferred candidate. That one is not in dispute. It’s settled.”
