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.
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.
