Obidients slap Dele Momodu for 'fake' report of LP campaign director defecting to PDP

Social media users have reacted to reports that Alhassan Bawu, campaign director of the Labour Party (LP) in Bauchi state, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Bawu who was speaking in a briefing yesterday in Bauchi disclosed that all the chairpersons of the party, state, zonal officers as well as national officers from the zone have also left Peter Obi’s Labour party and defected to support Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.

He said the defection was informed by the lack of structure of the LP at the state, local, and ward levels.

“The LP is not strong and won’t be able to win a single seat in the region,” he said.

“We are officially declaring that all the north-east executives of Labour Party are defecting to PDP to support Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“We don’t want to waste our votes, and we want to use this time to mobilise votes to who has the capacity to win the election.”

He said the decampees prefer the PDP to other political parties because they believe in Abubakar’s capacity to lead.

“If we support Atiku, we know that our votes will help him in becoming the president of this country,” he added.

The news has generated concerns on social media since it broke.

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the PDP has evoked the wrath of some social media users after he shared the news item on his Instagram page.
