Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has strongly denied rumors that he plans to leave the party.

Speaking at the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, Obi addressed speculations linking him to other political parties like the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He made it clear that he has never considered leaving Labour.

Obi and the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, had called for the emergency meeting after the Supreme Court’s decision to remove Julius Abure as the party’s National Chairman.

While Obi emphasized that Labour Party is open to talks with other parties ahead of the 2027 elections, he clarified that any such discussions would involve the party’s stakeholders, not him alone.

“Labour Party is still my party of choice, despite the challenges we’ve faced,” Obi said. “I assure you, I am still with Labour, and I’ve never had discussions with any other party. If we are going to talk to anyone, it will be as a party, not just Peter Obi.”

Additionally, he stressed that Labour Party’s decisions, including leadership choices, would be made collectively, with input from all stakeholders. “We must work together as a family. Everyone is welcome, and everyone has the right to contest,” he added.
