Agada defects to YPP after Labour Party exit

Presidential aspirant Peter Agada has defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the Young Progressives Party (YPP), citing disagreements over his disqualification from the party's presidential primary. He alleged that the decision was based on claims that the ticket was reserved for a particular region. Agada launched a digital policy platform, LabourDirect.com, and announced plans for a Labour Institute of Nigeria. He also called for intensified efforts to address insecurity and announced a candlelight vigil for kidnapping victims.
