Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, has not left the Labour Party, according to Datti Baba-Ahmed, the party’s 2023 vice presidential candidate.
Speaking to reporters during the party’s National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, which was seen by Independent National Electoral Commission officials, Baba-Ahmed denied rumors that Obi had left the Labour Party.
“To the best of our knowledge, our brother, His Excellency Peter Obi, is still a member of the Labour Party. Nothing has changed. If he were here now, I would have shifted my seat to the left for him,” he said.
He claimed that the party had overcome its internal issues and that the progress portended better times to come.
Additionally, he said that INEC’s presence at the meeting was a huge plus.
“The Labour Party has not reduced in any way. We have only increased in numbers. But with the submission of our leader, the National Secretary, we have gone through rough times, as is usual with political associations, and have emerged from it.
“The highlight and major turning point of this NEC meeting is the presence of INEC, which validates this sitting and justifies our presence here. As law-abiding citizens, we strictly go by what the law provides.
“This is a renewed drive for reconciliation, and I am here as a loyal party member to continue to open our arms to embrace new and existing members, to come back and reconcile with the party for the national assignment ahead of us,” he stated.
