“Mr Ifeanyi Ezeagu is well known in Sokoto State. He is a man of honor who contributes to the journey of Labor Party for long and still doing more. I know him to be in Sokoto for over two decades and has been a good man for the people. All his investments and assets are in Sokoto and he sees Sokoto as his home state. He started as a labourer to this level, so nobody can dare paint him black in the mind of Sokoto people.

“The man is hard working and we believe he can deliver. Considering his past records in the party and the role he play and ensuring that people accepted LP and Peter Obis in the state, we believe he is the right man for the job. He also offered campaign office for the party in Sokoto state,” he said.

According to the party stalwart, the unfounded speculations going round is not true, urging people to remain calm and work towards their success in the coming 2023 elections.

“We’ve moved on, and our Coordinator is busy with activities and strategies that will lead Peter Obi to victory in the coming elections. So we have nothing but good wishes for the general public. I urge people to ignore all the rumors going round about Mr Ifeanyi. Let’s concentrate on the task that is ahead of us, that is producing the Nigeria we want,” he added.

He also said members and supporters of their party are excited with the appointment of Mr Ifeanyi and promised to support him in all ramifications to the success of Obi/Datti presidential ambition.
