Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been captured wearing an African Democratic Congress (ADC) branded cap.
Naija News reports that Peter Obi wore the cap while campaigning for the party’s candidate, Justina Azuka, in the Onitsha North State Constituency by-election slated for Saturday.
The former Anambra State governor has not officially dumped the Labour Party for the ADC.
Mrs Azuka, widow of the late Labour Party lawmaker for Onitsha North, entered the race under the ADC platform following the killing of her husband last December.
Recall that Azuka was abducted on December 24, 2024, along Ugwunaobankpa Road in Inland Town, Onitsha, while returning home for Christmas. His body was later found at the Second Niger Bridge on February 6, 2025.
In a statement on Wednesday, Peter Obi wrote: “Standing with Mrs. Azuka for Onitsha North 1 Constituency
“Today, I visited Mrs. Justina Azuka, who recently suffered the tragic and gruesome loss of her husband, Hon. Justice Azuka, at the hands of kidnappers.
“In the face of this unimaginable pain, Mrs. Azuka has chosen the path of service, stepping forward to contest the Onitsha North Constituency 1 seat in the House of Assembly, to serve the remaining 13 months of her late husband’s tenure. She is a young mother of three — the eldest just 7 years old, and the others only 5 and 3.
“I have always maintained that leadership without compassion is meaningless. True leadership must balance competence with humanity. Mrs. Azuka is an HND graduate in Public Administration — qualified, competent, and a woman of strength, resilience, and commitment to serve.
“I call on all well-meaning citizens, at home and beyond, to rally behind her candidacy. Supporting her is not only an investment in competent representation but also a collective act of solidarity that will help ease the pain and heavy burden of her loss.
“She has my full support, and I urge us all to stand together to ensure that this capable and committed daughter of ours is elected on Saturday, 16 August 2025. In doing so, we send a clear message that in the new Nigeria, we will be compassionate, we will care for one another in times of difficulty, and we will uphold justice alongside competent leadership.”
