Weeks after former Anambra state Governor Peter Obi was announced as the flag bearer and presidential candidate of the Labour Party, a faction of the same party has announced the election of Ezenwafor as the presidential candidate.
The faction which is led by Mr Calistus Okafor held it’s national convention which ended with the election of comrade Jude Ezenwafor as the factions party flag bearer.
However, Peter Obi is the flag bearer of the Julius Abure led faction which is recognized by INEC.
Certainly, this does not make the party look like a formidable front united against the coming days as we see the interests of party members differing, one from the other.
In his speech Calistus Okafor said “What we are doing here today is to elect a man who is Worthy to give us that change we’ve been yearning for.”
While giving his acceptance speech the flag bearer of the faction pledged to rescue Nigeria.Ezenwafor said “I have never been in a wrong place. Labour party is going for a rescue mission,”
