Peter Obi Says He Has Never Considered Leaving Labour Party
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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
