The Labour Party, LP, gubernatorial candidate in Nasarawa State, Joseph Ewuga, has declared
his decision to step down from the race and throw his weight behind the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, David Ombugadu.
Ewuga said this in a phone conversation with ait.live in Lafia, citing the need to rebuild Nasarawa State and a belief in the desire for change among the people.
According to Ewuga, he has consulted with his supporters, party leaders, and stakeholders across the state before arriving at the decision to join forces with the PDP.
He expressed confidence in Ombugadu’s ability to lead Nasarawa State to greater heights and promised to work tirelessly to ensure his victory in the forthcoming election.

He urged his supporters to follow his lead and join hands with the PDP to bring about the change that Nasarawa State desperately needs.
Ewuga also called on other opposition candidates to join hands with the PDP to form a formidable alliance that will defeat the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the state.
With Ewuga’s decision to join forces with Ombugadu, the PDP’s chances of winning the governorship election in the state have been greatly enhanced.
