2023 Presidency: NCP fuses into LP, endorses Peter Obi

National Conscience Party (NCP) has endorsed the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as its preferred candidate in the February 2023 presidential polls.

The party said in Enugu, weekend, that it took the decision to endorse Obi because of his capacity to Nigeria to the promised land.

Declaring support for Obi, NCP National Chairman, Dr Tanko Yinusa, promised to mobilise all their members and supporters nationwide to vote for the Labour Party presidential candidate.

On reason for collapsing their structure for LP, Tanko said “we both share the same philosophy and manifesto” adding that “Peter Obi has all it takes to earn the trust and confidence of our party”.

The endorsement comes a few weeks after Nigeria Presidential Project (NPP) 2023 also declared its support for the LP flag-bearer, among several other eminent Nigerians including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
