With a few days left to the general election, some members of the Labour Party (LP) in the north-west zone have endorsed Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra, is the standard bearer of the LP.

Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Bashir Ishaq, speaking on behalf of some LP candidates in the north-west, said they are ready to work for Tinubu’s victory using their structures in the zone.

Ishaq, who now leads the Game Changers For Asiwaju/Shettima, said they have all defected to the ruling party.

“As a coalition of LP gubernatorial, senatorial and house of representatives and house of assembly members from the north-west, chairmen and members of campaign council, members of the gubernatorial campaign council in Kano and the north-west and zonal state coordinators, we have decided as a group to unanimously endorse the candidature of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
