Chief Tony Ezeagwu, while addressing newsmen in Asaba, said that the party had never been in negotiation with any political party to form a formidable opposition to dislodge the PDP from power in the state in 2019.

Ezeagwu said: “I think it is a rumour. I am the state chairman of LP, so if there is any such thing and I am not aware, it is not true.”
