The 2023 vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said that there is no crack between him and Peter Obi.
Baba-Ahmed was present at the National Executive Council
meeting of the Julius Abure faction of the party on Monday.
LP has been embroiled in an internal crisis, with the party
now split into two factions, one led by Abure and the other led by interim
Chairman, Nenadi Usman.
Most members of the party are of the opinion that Julius
Abure’s tenure as the chairman of the party has expired, and even the court had
asked him to stop parading himself as the national chairman of the party.
The likes of Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Peter Obi, Datti
himself, and the elected lawmakers under the LP have always identified with the
Usman-led faction.
Baba-Ahmed, who spoke at the Abure-led faction NEC meeting
in Abuja, said he was there as a peacemaker.
Fielding questions from reporters, Baba-Ahmed also made it
clear that Peter Obi is still a member of the Labour Party.
“I have attended and I have listened to the coalition
attempts. Yes, I still remain in the Labour Party,” he said.
“To the best of our knowledge, H.E. Peter Obi, my boss, is
still a member of the Labour Party. He, just like I, attended the coalition
talks; but coalition is not a political party. He has not become a member of
ADC.
“There is no crack between Obi and myself. In fact, it’s
impossible for there to be any crack between us.
“It is easier to break the head of APC than for a crack to
exist between me and my boss, Peter Obi.”
