The presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has thrown his support behind embattled former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu.
Recall that Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice were arrested and arraigned before a UK magistrate court on Thursday, June 23, over alleged organ harvesting.
The duo allegedly took a 15-year-old boy from Nigeria to the UK to harvest his kidney for their sick child.
Reaching out to the embattled former deputy senate president on his Twitter handle, Obi wrote;
”My family and I are with the Ekweremadu’s over their travail. We join all men of goodwill in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God’s hand for justice to be done. -PO”
Interestingly, this comes barely days after Ekweremadu was quoted as saying that the Southeast would rather vote for Peoples Democratic Party than the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election.
