The party has recently seen a deluge of Aspirants scampering for its Governorship Form that costs Twenty Five (N25m) Naira.

The information available to Trumpeta said that fourteen(14) Aspirants have doled out N25m each making it a total of N350m and still counting, as many more Aspirants declare interest.
Sources said that Imo Labour Party ticket has turned into an alluring pie following the belief that the party is primed to win the November 11, 2023 Imo Governorship election, because of the influence of Peter Obi, and his latest political romance with Ndigbo as a whole.
