LP changes National Convention venue from Abia to Anambra

A top party official told Daily Trust last night that “The
convention could not be held in Abuja due to the fear of likely disruption by
the ‘Obidients’ and this would also make it extremely difficult for our
national chairman (Abure) to win another term in office.”

He said the ‘Obidients’ insisted it should be held in
Anambra to honour Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the party in the
2023 election.

But the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh,
yesterday, said the change of venue was not because of fear of disruption.

This is the second time the party has changed the venue of
the convention slated for March 27.

The party had earlier scheduled the national convention for
March 29 in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

It later changed the venue from Benin to Umuahia, the Abia
State capital and now it’s Nnewi, in Anambra State.
