Traditional rulers in Anambra have thrown their weight behind the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP) Peter Obi.
The monarchs gave their endorsement after the former Governor of Anambra State addressed at the government House in Awka just before kickstarting his campaign in the state.
They said that although they are not politicians, but they want the best for their people as they were witnesses to his performance as Governor.
The Igwe of Okpuno, Sunday Okafor prayed that God would help the former Anambra Governor in actualizing his dream of becoming the next president in the country.
The Royal father said: “We are not politicians and don’t play politics. We have known Obi right from when he was the governor of Anambra state and we witnessed his good performance.
“We commend you for coming out to contest for this position and we urge you to continue soliciting for people’s support. We are backing you”.
Meanwhile, a mammoth crown is said to have converged on the venue of the rally to receive the Labour Party Flag bearer.
