Nigerian businessman, Isaac Fayose, has expressed his loyalty to the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, despite his political affiliation.
Isaac made the remark in a video clip posted on his official Facebook page on Monday while reacting to criticism surrounding Obi’s move to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).
News reports that Obi and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday dumped the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the NDC.
The development did not sit well with members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who accused Obi and Kwankwaso of “jumping from party to party.”
Reacting, Isaac Fayose said he and others believe in Obi and are ready to move with him wherever he goes.
He said, “Your current president moved from SDP to AD, ACN and APC. Anywhere Peter Obi decides to go, we will follow him because we believe in him.
“If the APC is sure of victory, why are the members putting their hands in all other parties? I thought they had over 32 governors; why are they still putting their fingers in other parties?
“If we like, we can move to NNN; that’s our own. Obi is our party.”
