In politics of today you can't build a party without money.

Ok

And that is peter obi political party oo

Not a new thing, that's politics.

Labour Party was a vehicle for desperados and opportunists. It was never about ideals or belief. All of these embodied in lambino himself

They should render their seats empty

🤣🤣.....this is funny sha.

These people just carry obedients handicap.

Politicians are all the same...

Labourers will soon be here wail.
No surprises though. Even their Agulu fraud will soon defect to his former party. It's just a matter of time.

Am not voting for party

Apcshyte:

You wish 😂

but LP is dieing. Obi needs to leave and create a brand new party he has better control of.

Nothing new here We all knew LP were APC and PDP at night, and Obi will be going back to PDP very soon.

ellupee

Nigeria politicians are useless people..


Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

Crumbling ,about to be shattered Labour Party

Obidients placed order on handicap

Until the supreme Court judgement and the electoral act as amended starts being enforced, then this rubbish will keep happening. If you decamp to another party, you should lose your seat!

To hell with labour party. The reason LP came into limelight was because of mr Peter Obi and if Obi decided to run under APC tomorrow for president i won't mind voting him a million times.

Again to hell with LP

It isn't a blow. It only tells how some people lack principles and do not know what they stand for.

Who e concern..

When the country spoil finish shey all of us go rest.

But so many of them decamped to LP and they never lost their seat

They are only there for their own interests.They knew that tinubu will rigged them out in the next election if they don't decamp.

Which blow. Good riddance. I don't think Labour Party needs people who would even consider moving to a party of incompetence
