Former aide to Peter Obi, Digar Ezenwafor Wednesday  emerged as the Presidential candidate of  a faction of the LP at a national convention held in the Garki area of Abuja.

The convention was presided over by the party’s leadership led by its former Deputy National Chairman, Callistus Okafor of Anambra State

Ezenwafor was former director of protocol when  Peter Obi served as Anambra State governor. He also served as Senior Special Assistant to Ex-Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra State on Politics and Strategy.

The entry of Peter Obi to the LP has thrown up a tussle for the soul of the party, with two factions claiming to be the true faction of the Workers party
