COALITION EXCLUSIVE: Labour Party Gives Peter Obi 48 Hours to Resign Over ADC Affiliation

By Admin on
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has reportedly been given 48 hours to quit the party, following his very visible presence at the public unveiling of the Africa Democratic Congress, ADC as the party of choice for the newly formed opposition coalition against the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, ahead of the 2027 election in the country.

The ultimatum was handed down by the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party, which demanded that Mr.Obi formally resign his membership following his decision to align with the opposition coalition platform under the African Democratic Congress.

Obi was unveiled on Wednesday as one of the major political figures aligning with the new ADC-led coalition formed to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, described the coalition as a gathering of “power mongers” and accused Obi of holding dual political loyalties.

He said: “We are aware of several nocturnal meetings between Peter Obi and some of our members, lobbying them to join him in his new party. We’re also aware that a number of them have refused to defect with him,” Ifoh stated.

According to him, the Labour Party is not part of the coalition and will not entertain individuals with “dual agendas” or “deceptive personas,” adding that, “Labour Party has consistently said it is not part of the coalition and therefore, any of our members who is part of the coalition is given within 48 hours to formally resign his membership of the party.”

Ifoh dismissed the “new Nigeria” mantra often echoed by Obi and his supporters as deceptive and unachievable under what he described as “recycled, desperate, and frustrated politicians,” noting that “Nearly 70 percent of the Nigerian population are youths who are tired of the old order. The new Nigeria of our dream can only be realized through Labour Party.”

The party spokesman urged LP members to remain loyal, insisting that the Abure-led leadership is committed to building a truly progressive and youth-driven political movement.

Former Delta Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege are reportedly enmeshed in a Titanic battle for the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The battle, which has snowballed into a cold war, has reportedly polarized the APC into factions, with each of the two gladiators insisting that the leadership of the party belongs to each of them. Findings revealed that the state chairman of the party, Chief Omeni Sobotie, reportedly suffering from an unknown ailment, has been dragged into the tussle, with Ibori and Omo-Agege demanding loyalty from the chairman. Sources claim that the battle for the control of party became intense after Ibori's daughter and member representing Ethiope federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Ehriatake Ibori-Suenu decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently. Although Omo-Agege was in Oghara, headquarters of Ethiope West Local Government of De...
