A Labour Party (LP) chieftain and Special Adviser to Peter Obi on Public Affairs, Katch Ononuju, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost over 85 per cent of its supporters to Obi.
Ononuju said that the ongoing organic revolution across the country will secure the party the expected victory at the polls in February next year.
In interview on Channels TV Sunrise Daily, Ononuju said: “Up to 85 per cent of the PDP historical voting blocs are now following LP, never mind what the dinosaurs are telling you and their ability to rent crowd. We want to work with the organic people, we want to work with the Nigerian people.”
Ononuju said he left the PDP for LP because the party has grown in popularity with Nigerians, especially the youths.
His words: “The LP wasn’t known six months ago in the way it is known today but the minute problem came in the PDP, Peter Obi moved.
“He wasn’t the only one to move, several people moved and suddenly the youths looked at those who moved and said this is where we are going to and that we are very happy for.”
“The PDP that we are running away from is the PDP that has now become infected with the mindset from the APC.”
“The new LP and the yearnings of the youths are premised on an inclusive Nigeria that one that we have abandoned doesn’t believe in an inclusive enterprise. We now want to move with the youths to a Nigeria where everybody should have a sense of belonging in this enterprise of nation building”.
