Under the leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman, the Labour Party’s National Caretaker Committee has approved Peter Obi, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, to attend the coalition talks currently taking place with the goal of unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

According to the statement, the LP firmly supported the coalition movement spearheaded by the Nigerian people and reaffirmed Peter Obi’s eligibility to run for office in 2027 on its platform in the event that the current coalition attempts fall through.

Ken Asogwa, Senator Usman’s media assistant, made this claim in a statement.

The statement claims that Senator Usman chastised several suspended Labour Party members under Julius Abure for opposing Obi’s involvement in the coalition effort.

Usman emphasized that a move so obviously grounded in national interest to topple the directionless Tinubu administration cannot be questioned by Abure and his allies who have been shown the exit door for their anti-party activities.

“It is worth reiterating that Obi has consistently maintained that his interest lies solely in a coalition focused on eradicating hunger, insecurity, and poor governance – a vision that aligns squarely with the founding principles and aspirations of the Labour Party.

“One is left wondering whose agenda Julius Abure and his cohorts have truly been advancing. Is it that they disagree with Obi and the Labour Party that Nigeria is presently facing an unprecedented crisis requiring collective action to salvage?

“In the meantime, it is rather comical that Abure and his band of entertainers continue to peddle the narrative of a purported 2024 national convention which was self-convened, unlawful, and ultimately denounced by the Supreme Court of Nigeria as illegal.

“The repeated reference to this so-called convention is not only misleading but also a flagrant contempt of the Supreme Court’s judgment and should be treated as such by the appropriate legal authorities,” the statement read.

However, it cautioned the public to only trust messages from the office of the National Caretaker Committee, which is chaired by Distinguished Senator Nenadi Usman, and to ignore any statements made by anybody posing as party officials.
