ABUJA — Presidential aspirant Peter Agada has announced his defection from the Labour Party (LP) to the Young Progressives Party (YPP), citing disagreements over his disqualification from the party’s presidential primary.
Speaking at a media briefing attended by YPP officials, labour representatives and civil society groups, Agada said he decided to leave the Labour Party and continue his political activities on a new platform.
He said he had participated in activities leading to the party’s national convention and subsequently sought the party’s presidential ticket.
