Mr Nnamdi confirmed the development to journalists on Friday, June 17.
Speaking to newsmen on his emergence, he said: “I stand in as the vice-presidential candidate of the party. Labour party has submitted my name as the VP of the party.”
However, Mr Nnamdi who is a placeholder for the VP candidate was named in order to meet up with the June 17 deadline.
The deadline issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for parties to submit the list of their candidates for the 2023 general elections.
