Valentine Ozigbo expressed his expectation that Peter Obi would join him in the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), a few days after he left the Labour Party (LP).

Obi, who previously belonged to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was the presidential flagbearer of the LP in the 2023 election.

The LP is dealing with internal issues in spite of its strong electoral performance.

Some of its members have chosen to defect in the face of accusations and rebuttals.

Citing the party’s never-ending issues, Ozigbo is the most recent member of the LP to depart.

Ozigbo stated on Thursday’s episode of Channels TV’s Politics Today that he told Peter Obi and all other party members before leaving the party.

Ozigbo said, “I told him a few things, not about coming to the APC, but I would like to welcome him to the APC someday if he so desires.

“But here’s the point: I engaged with everybody I needed to engage as much as I could remember to say to them, here are the options.

“I had a meeting with Peter Obi. I said to him, ‘I don’t see myself running for this election in the Labour Party, and I want to make a decision soon.’”

“The day I mentioned to him I was leaving the Labour Party, the next day, I moved to the APC because I had to go and visit the Labour Party and say goodbye to them. And I told them to their face, ‘You hear the things that have happened. I am not proud of them. Even when we had a congress in Anambra State, it was a charade—totally flawed.”
