Obi had on Wednesday shocked the whole nation when he resigned his membership of the PDP two days before the presidential primary election of the party scheduled to hold on Saturday.
Although there are speculations that the former Governor of Anambra State may join the Labour Party to realise his ambition, speculations are also rife that he may join the New Nigerian Peoples Party led by the former Governor of Kano State and a presidential aspirant of the party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as his running mate.
