“But I assure you, it’ll be a party of tomorrow. Some have speculated all sorts of things, ‘oh, he has left Labor Party. Some of us are on our way out…’ Let me assure you, we are Labour Party members.

“I’ve never discussed with any other party. If we are going to discuss with anybody who discuss it jointly for my house as Labour Party.

“No party will tell you that they’ve seen me discussing with them. them. We’ll sit down and discuss everything, including leadership. Stakeholders will say, ‘we want to be part of this’, it is not Peter Obi’s choice. It is choice of everybody.

“We must move and do everything we are doing as a family, because we’ve chosen to be family, and this family does not exclude anybody. Let’s do the right thing. Let’s go and do the right thing from Ward to Local government, from State to Zone and do it nationally.

“Everybody is free to contest. Everybody is free.”
