Oseloka H. Obaze, the leader of the Labour Party and an associate of Mr. Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, has resigned from the party.

Prior to his recent resignation, Obaze, a former diplomat and Secretary to Obi’s Anambra Government, collaborated closely with him as a party chieftain and advisor.

In a letter to reporters in Anambra on Sunday, Obaze revealed this, stating that he had written to LP Chairman in Ochuche Ward 406, Ogbaru Local Government of Anambra State as soon as the party’s primary poll was held on April 5 and that his resignation became effective on April 6.

He claimed that he decided to leave the Labour Party in order to voice his displeasure and oppose the way the party’s governorship primary election in Anambra was conducted on April 5.

He said: “The processes, conduct and outcome of the Labour Party governorship primaries held on April 5, 2025 in Awka, were fraught with outright irregularities, bothering on fraud and criminality.

“It was not in tandem with either the party’s constitution and espoused core values or true tenets of democracy. As such, I hereby disassociate myself henceforth from the Labour Party,” he said.

Additionally, Obaze attested to the resignation letter’s authenticity, stating that “the letter is real and speaks for itself.”

Obaze became Peter Obi’s presidential successor in the Labour Party after leaving the PDP in 2022, one week before Obi did.

He then became Peter Obi’s campaign manager in the 2023 general election and one of the major brains behind the Obidient Movement.
