“The endorsement became necessary as his manifesto showed a pledge to ramp up Nasarawa state,” Emmanuel said.
Formally collapsing their structure to Ewuga and LP Campaign Organisation, the leader said the body has a strong presence in all the electoral wards in the state, and 36 states of the federation which would be mobilized for the LP.
