Peter Obi May Miss 2027 Labour Party Ticket If He Keeps Ties With ADC, LP Warns
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.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
