Sam Nwanti, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, has joined the All Progressives Congress, APC ahead of the 2019 general elections.
According to Nwanti, his reason for forfeiting his presidential candidature on the platform of the Labour Party to join the APC was based on his support for President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement released by his spokesman, Emeh ThankGod, Nwanti revealed that the decision to step down his ambition was based on the need to support Buhari’s fight against corruption as well as efforts to get the country working again.
He said in the statement made available to newsmen; “I withdraw from contesting for the presidential race on the platform of Labour party and back to All Progressives Congress APC.
“I am back to APC to support President Buhari for his second term bid because he needs our support to get things aright once again.
“I will help All Progressives Congress and the Buhari-led administration fight corruption and as the only detective who is contesting in 2019, it may split the support of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The American-based detective from Mbieri, in the Mbaitoli Council Area of Imo State, however, maintained that he will immediately commence preparations for the 2023 race for the highest office in the land.
