About two days after Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, dismissed the investment one of his predecessors, Peter Obi, made while in office, he has played down the strength of the Labour Party.
Declaring support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Professor Peter Umeadi, he said Obi’s Labour Party and the ‘Obidients’ were no threat to APGA.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Dr Alex Obiogbolu, on Sunday, the Anambra governor claimed that APGA remained the third largest political party in the country.

The statement partly read, “APGA remains the third largest political party in Nigeria, considering the number of political offices it has won.
“APGA has a state governor, members of the National Assembly and members of the state assemblies.
“APGA does not consider the wave of the ‘Obidient Movement’ as a threat towards achieving its set goals in 2023.
“The LP and the ‘Obidient Movement’ are offshoots of the PDP. Therefore, they pose a big threat to PDP, not APGA”.
