On February 22, 2023, the Accord Party, one of Nigeria’s oldest political parties, announced its endorsement of Peter Gregory Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, for the 2023 presidential election. The party also announced that it would be collapsing its party structure in support of Obi..

In a letter addressed to Obi, the Accord Party stated that it was willing to join forces with the Labour Party in delivering the mandate of Peter Gregory Obi and the Labour Party to win the presidential seat. The party pledged to join the Labour Party’s structure across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria to deliver the constituencies to Obi during the presidential election.

The Accord Party further stated that it would engage in massive mobilization by deploying its party members, canvassers, and voters nationwide to vote for Peter Gregory Obi. The party set a target of delivering five million votes to the Labour Party.

The endorsement of Peter Gregory Obi by the Accord Party is significant as it brings together two political parties with a long-standing history in Nigerian politics. The Accord Party was founded in 2006 and has had its candidates serve in legislative positions at the state and federal levels. The party has a strong presence across the 35 states of the federation and has been known to deliver their constituencies at every election.

The Labour Party, on the other hand, was founded in 2004 and has been known to champion the cause of workers and the less privileged in Nigerian society. The party has also had its candidates serve in legislative positions at the state and federal levels.

The collaboration between the Accord Party and the Labour Party is in tandem with the trend in Nigerian politics, where political parties are forming alliances and coalitions to galvanize strength and present a united front in the upcoming 2023 general elections. The move is seen as a strategic move to unseat the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has been in power since 2015.

The Accord Party’s endorsement of Peter Gregory Obi has been welcomed by the Labour Party, with the party stating that it is a step in the right direction towards achieving victory in the upcoming presidential election. The collaboration between the two parties is seen as a positive development for Nigerian democracy, as it brings together two political parties with a common goal of delivering the mandate of the Nigerian people.

The endorsement has also been welcomed by political analysts, who see it as a game-changer in the upcoming presidential election. The Accord Party has a strong presence in some states in Nigeria, and its collapse in support of Obi is expected to boost the Labour Party’s chances in those states.
