Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the National Secretary of the Labour
Party loyal to Julius Abure, says the party’s 2023 presidential candidate,
Peter Obi, is only enjoying his current media attention but would not contest
in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
This is coming barely 24 hours after Obi insisted that he
was a member of the Labour Party and that his name would be on the ballot in
2027.
Ibrahim made this known on Thursday while responding to
questions in an interview on Trust TV, stressing that the opposition parties
have become too demoralised to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress,
APC.
“I can tell you, Obi is not going to contest presidential
election. Obi is enjoying media publicity but 2027, he is not interested in it.
We have offered him presidential ticket, he rejected it,” he stated.
The LP National Secretary further questioned Obi’s current
political alignment, alleging that his recent moves had created uncertainty
about his party affiliation.
