The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has firmly dispelled rumours suggesting he might leave the party.

Addressing the speculation via his X platform, Obi reassured his followers of his unwavering commitment and loyalty to the Labour Party.

This clarification comes amid internal party developments and reactions to recent decisions by the Labour Party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

National Chairman Julius Abure had announced the establishment of several Directorates, including the “Obidient Directorate,” aimed at coordinating the integration of members of the Obidient Movement into the Labour Party.

The announcement, however, sparked discontent among several members of the movement, leading to a strongly worded statement denouncing the party’s new body and dissociating themselves from it.

Responding to the NWC’s decision, Obi highlighted that the Obidient Movement transcends a single political party, stating, “The Obidient Movement is beyond a political party and cannot be cubbyholed into one.”

The ensuing rumours suggested that Obi might consider leaving the Labour Party. Addressing these rumours directly on Thursday, the former Anambra State governor said, “I have just been confronted by a journalist at Abuja airport wanting to know if my statement on the Obidient Movement yesterday is a signal of my leaving the Labour Party. For the attention of all those holding such an impression and for the general public, I remain a faithful, committed and loyal member of the Labour Party.”

Obi emphasized his dedication to the Labour Party’s mission, stating, “Indeed, as a leader of the party, my aspiration and desire, working closely with other leaders, is to reconcile our valued members and partner with like-minded individuals and parties across the country to build a strong and better party that will catalyze and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.”

He further clarified his intentions, saying, “My statement yesterday was intended to clarify some issues that are of concern to our teeming supporters, some of whom are not members of any political party but are desirous of a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is possible.”
