Peter Obi finally speaks on Labour Party crisis and plans to leave

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the general elections in 2023, Mr. Peter Obi, has dropped the greatest signal yet regarding his potential departure from the party before the 2027 election season.

On his Verified X space, which Parallel Facts hosted yesterday, he made this statement during an engagement with his supporters.

The former governor of Anambra State noted that his primary goal is to make Nigeria work for all its residents, a point committed Obidient Movement members have accepted. As a result, he is steadfast in his resolve to remain focused.

He said neither he nor his supporters were prepared to fall for the manufactured crisis within the Labour Party, which was part of a diversionary tactic.

Obi said, “Our engagement is about Nigeria, they are trying to change our focus. What we want to do is not about Labour Party; it is about what the Obidients want to do about Nigeria.

“We are thinking about water, we are thinking about power, we are thinking about employment, thinking about security. That should be our focus.

“The other matter we will deal with. We were somewhere, we didn’t start with Labour.

“I’m a Christian. Jesus said, When you go into a city, try to change them, live with them, fast with them. in the end, you can’t, come out and even wash the sand that is on your shoes.

“He didn’t say go there and die with them. I tell you, I’m making spirited efforts to change them (LP), but I’m not going to die with them.

“That will not stop what we set out to do. We will try to change them (LP), if we can’t, we will leave them; we will not die with them.”
