The Labour Party’s internal tensions are heating up as factional National Secretary, Umar Farouk, has warned that Peter Obi risks losing his shot at the party’s 2027 presidential ticket if he continues aligning himself with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Speaking in an interview with Trust TV, Farouk made it clear that the Labour Party’s presidential ticket isn’t a birthright, not even for Obi. He emphasized that the party is prepared to open up the race and allow Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, who served as Obi’s running mate in 2023, to contest for the top seat.

According to Farouk, the Labour Party will not tolerate split loyalties, stating that anyone found cozying up with rival parties while claiming to represent LP might be disqualified from contesting.

“Datti is just as qualified as Peter Obi to run for President. Our ticket is not reserved for anyone. If he wants it, he should come forward, buy the form, build his support, and run,” Farouk said.

He added that any presidential hopeful must show full commitment to the party or risk missing out altogether.

But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.

“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”

Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.

According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.

“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”

Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.

“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
