Peter Obi debunks rumours on dumping Labour Party

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the last general election, Peter Obi has addressed speculation that he plans to dump the party amid an internal crisis rocking the opposition party.

Obi dismissed the speculation, describing it as the handiwork of mischief makers. The media aide of Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) Michael Jude Nwolisa, disclosed this in a statement he issued.

“Dismiss trending fake and fallacious news story suggesting that he was parting ways with the Labour Party. “This is not true and it did not originate from Obi or the Obidient Movement but from mischief makers bent on sowing the seed of discord in the party.”

Nwolisa said those bent on creating a crisis in the Labour Party are enemies of democracy. He claimed that those behind the crisis were trying to destroy and disorganize the party just to get at Obi.

He added that the former Anambra state governor is still a bonafide member of the Labour Party and has no intention of parting ways with the party.“

“Peter Obi therefore would like to assure Nigerians, particularly the Obidient family that his way with Labour is unshaken and intact and that the struggle to rescue Nigeria from the criminal gangs holding it down will not stop until it’s achieved through the will of the Nigerian people.”
