ABUJA, NIGERIA — Former Ondo State First Lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has officially joined the Labour Party (LP) in Imo State, declaring her intention to contest for a senatorial seat.
Akeredolu made this known in a Facebook post on Tuesday, revealing that she recently attended the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) and stakeholders meeting held in Abuja on March 17.
According to her, the meeting recorded a large turnout, with the venue reportedly unable to comfortably accommodate all participants, an indication of growing interest and momentum within the party.
Her move into Imo politics marks a significant shift, as she transitions from her previous role in Ondo State to pursue elective office in the South-East.
Political observers say her entry into the Labour Party could reshape the dynamics of the senatorial race in Imo State, given her profile and political experience.
While details of her senatorial district and campaign strategy are yet to be fully disclosed, her declaration signals the beginning of what is expected to be a competitive contest.
The Labour Party continues to attract new entrants across the country, as political realignments intensify ahead of future elections.
More details are expected as developments unfold.
