Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has called the rumor that Peter Obi has a falling out with Nenadi Usman, the Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, “baseless.”

In response to inquiries over Obi’s attendance at the campaign flag-off of Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial flagbearer in Anambra State, Tanko stated that the 2023 presidential candidate is still a devoted and faithful follower of the Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party.

He said, “His Excellency Peter Obi has consistently affirmed that he remains a member of the Labour Party under the leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman. He has also clearly stated his support for all individuals who had previously secured the party’s ticket to contest political positions.

“The rumour that Peter Obi has betrayed Senator Nenadi Usman is entirely baseless. It is a false narrative being peddled by opposition elements to distract.”

After Obi attended the flag-off of Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor of Anambra State, rumors started to circulate.

Tanko explained, “Senator Nenadi Usman, along with other key stakeholders in this movement are fully aware of and support the recent developments. Let’s not forget that His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, is a man of integrity, known for keeping his word. His decision to support Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for Anambra State, reflects that consistency.

“So far, the only individuals who have spoken on these matters are senators, Members of the House of Representatives, State Assembly members, and I. This marks a clear departure from the old political order.”

He asked the public to ignore the rumors and consider them to be nothing more than propaganda that is based on lies and intended to cause needless controversy.

“Our focus remains on one goal: building a strong movement, a united Labour Party and a better Nigeria. That, we shall achieve.”
