Ex-Osun LP governor candidate Lasun Yusuf replaces Peter Obi in 2023

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has lost the support of Lasun Suleiman Yusuf, the party’s governorship candidate in the just-concluded gubernatorial election in Osun State.

Yusuf, who joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday at a presidential rally in Osun, has endorsed Atiku Abubakar.

At a campaign event in the state capital of Osogbo, Governor Ademola Adeleke announced Lasun’s conversion to the PDP.

Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s national chairman, and Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, the head of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, all attended the event.
