“Stay and Fix Labour Party” – Olorunfemi Tells Peter Obi

Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, Ayo Olorunfemi, has advised Peter Obi to ignore calls urging him to leave the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Sunday in Lagos, Olorunfemi, who is also the Labour Party’s candidate for the 2024 Ondo governorship race, said Obi should focus on fixing and rebuilding the party instead of thinking about jumping ship.
In recent times, there have been growing calls for Obi to return to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. One of those voices, Segun Sowunmi, a former PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State, said in a TV interview that Obi’s return to the PDP would boost the party’s chances come 2027. Sowunmi also added that Obi’s rise to national fame started during his time with the PDP.
Olorunfemi, however, stressed that although Obi has the right to choose where he wants to belong, he should be cautious of what he called dangerous political moves.
He said, “Now that Obi has tested the Labour Party’s strength, if he leaves for another party, it would say a lot about his real motives. It would show whether he truly believed in the Labour Party’s ideals or if he only used the platform for his ambition. Nigerians will judge if he can still get their votes under another party.”
He urged Obi to focus on healing the Labour Party instead of abandoning it, adding that Obi and others contributed to the internal crisis and should now work to fix it.
Olorunfemi pointed out that in 2022, many aspirants in Labour Party stepped down to allow Obi emerge as the party’s presidential candidate. He also made it clear that even if Obi decides to leave, the Labour Party would remain a strong voice in opposition.

PDP Says Tinubu Wants to Kill Other Parties and Make Nigeria a One-Party Country

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to resist any move towards a one-party system, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to silence opposition and undermine democracy. In a statement issued ahead of its upcoming National Convention set for August 2025 in Kano, the PDP said the event would be a turning point to elect new national leaders, strengthen the party’s internal structure, and prepare to challenge the APC in the 2027 general elections.
The party stressed that this convention would focus on electing capable leaders through a process rooted in merit, transparency, and fairness. It said this was necessary to confront what it described as the APC’s mismanagement of the country. The PDP accused the APC of using threats, intimidation, and interference in opposition parties to weaken Nigeria’s democratic system. It also blamed the ruling party for worsening economic conditions, growing poverty, and rising insecurity, calling the situation “unprecedented hardship” under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The opposition party urged Nigerians not to allow democracy to be replaced with authoritarian control. It encouraged citizens to unite behind the PDP and support efforts to bring back true democratic governance in the country. According to the statement, the Kano convention will help reawaken the PDP and prepare it to lead a renewed fight for a better Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace and prosperity.
The party concluded by calling on its members, stakeholders, and every patriotic Nigerian to stand firm, support the party’s mission, and help build a stronger front against what it described as the APC’s anti-people policies. “Together, we can stop the APC’s plans and return Nigeria to a path of progress, safety, and economic stability,” the PDP said.

“The Day Wike Joins APC, We’ll Sing ‘As E Dey Pain Dem, E Dey Sweet Us’” – Tinubu Says

President Bola Tinubu has made it clear he’s open to having the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, join the All Progressives Congress (APC) if he decides to officially leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
During the commissioning of Arterial Road N16 in the Katampe area of Abuja, Tinubu praised Wike for his work as FCT Minister, despite still being a PDP member. He then jokingly referenced one of Wike’s most popular campaign catchphrases, saying, “Wike is not a member of my party—at least not yet. But if he ever makes that decision and joins the progressives, we’ll welcome him warmly. We’ll even enjoy singing ‘as e dey pain dem, e dey sweet us.’” His comments drew loud laughter from the audience, including Wike himself.
Although Wike has not officially left the PDP, his loyalty has long been questioned within the party. After falling out with the PDP leadership during the 2023 presidential primaries, Wike refused to support the party’s flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, and instead backed Tinubu’s campaign—a move that caused serious internal rifts.
Tinubu rewarded Wike’s political support with the appointment as FCT Minister in August 2023, and since then, Wike hasn’t hidden where his loyalty lies.
In fact, he recently said he would personally lead Tinubu’s 2027 re-election efforts in Rivers State. “I am a major political asset. I will take charge of President Tinubu’s campaign in Rivers,” Wike boldly stated during a media chat.
His actions have continued to stir division within the PDP, with growing calls for his expulsion from the party. However, Wike still commands a strong base of support among some PDP members, making any move against him tricky for the party.
Earlier this week, Wike took another swipe at the PDP, echoing a demand by some stakeholders that the party must zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South to maintain a sense of fairness and balance. He also pointed out that, by the PDP’s constitution, only the National Secretary—currently Senator Samuel Anyanwu—is empowered to call a valid party meeting, hinting at disputes over how the party is being run.
