Peter Obi finally clears the air on his membership of Labour Party

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, has declared that he will continue to be a devoted and faithful member of the organisation.

At the Abuja airport, Obi claimed to have been approached by a journalist who asked him if his remarks on Wednesday on the “Obidient Movement” indicated he intended to quit the LP.

Obi states that his goal is to collaborate closely with other party leaders in order to work towards reuniting important members and forming alliances with like-minded parties across the nation.

In a statement released on Thursday, Obi added, “For the avoidance of doubt, ‘I remain a committed, Loyal Labour Party member’. That is my definitive response to all Nigerians who may be in doubt about my party affiliation in the light of recent reports and conflicting interpretations of recent political expressions.

“I have just been confronted by a Journalist at Abuja airport wanting to know if my statement on 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.

“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 minds, and parties all over the country to build a strong and better Party that will catalyze and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.

“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 for a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is POssible.”

According to ZINGTIE, Obi declared on Wednesday that the Obidient Movement has no political affiliation.

This occurred subsequent to the Labour Party leadership establishing a directorate for the Obedient Movement.

Since then, the party has reversed its choice.
