Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, has maintained that Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, is still a member of the Labour Party, or LP.

Tanko insisted Peter Obi has not joined the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

Tanko said during an appearance on Channels TV’s Morning Brief that the LP’s leaders would clarify their stances to Nigerians in the days ahead, particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling dismissing Julius Abure as the party’s national chairman.

“As I speak to you right now, there is going to be a meeting possibly within the week by the leaders of the party to make fundamental positions clear to everyone, and in line with the position of the Supreme Court ruling and that of course will put the whole matter to rest.

“As far as I am concerned, His Excellency, Peter Obi is a member of the Labour Party. It remains so until when there is any other thing that may come up.”

He said this in response to remarks made by Adewole Adebayo, the former presidential candidate of the SDP, claiming that Obi and a number of other well-known Nigerian politicians are lining up to join the party.

According to Adebayo, Obi and Atiku Abubakar, a former presidential contender for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are in negotiations with the SDP in anticipation of a defection.
