- Says report did not originate from Obi or the Obidient Movement
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has dismissed speculations that he was parting ways with the party.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR.
In the statement, the LP candidate distanced himself from the news item on some online platforms, stressing that it was the handiwork of mischief makers.
According to a statement signed by Obi’s Media Aide, Michael Jude Nwolisa, on Friday, the POMR expressed its wish to vehemently “dismiss trending fake and fallacious news stories 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.
“These rising misdemeanors on the party did not start today as they set out to destroy and disorganize the party all to get at Obi and derail the inevitable journey of rescuing Nigeria.
“Presently our principal is preoccupied with making Nigeria work not on partisan politics which ended on October 26, 2023, when the Supreme Court of the land took their final decision on the general elections.”
