Some Nigerians have questioned the sudden affiliation between Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, and the governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu.
This, according to reports from WITHIN NIGERIA, follows the discovery of Peter Obi campaign posters in Abia State alongside Ikpeazu and another PDP candidate.
The posters feature Ikpeazu, who is running for the senate to represent Abia South, and Uche Ikonne, the PDP’s candidate for governor of Abia State.
It is unclear whether one of the posters, which read “Popular Choice of 2023,” was intended to educate voters about who to support in the election or to mislead supporters.
Many purported LP supporters have responded to the posters.
