LP Denies Plans To Expel Obi

The Labour Party, LP, has denied alleged plan to expel its flag bearer during the 2023 presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi from the party.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Adviser Media, to the Acting National Chairman of the party, Senator Nenadi Usman, Mr. Eluma Asogwa, in Abuja.

The statement asked Nigerians to ignore what it described as “ranting of political impostors”.

“Attention of the party has been drawn to plans by a group of “political jesters” unknown to LP parading themselves as members to convene a kangaroo meetig with the aim of sowing confusion and mischief in the ongoing coalition efforts involving Mr. Peter Obi”.

“These impostors, acting on behalf of self interests, intend to purport an expulsion of Mr. Obi from the Labour Party – a move as laughable as it is illegal”.

“We urge Nigerians to disregard the desperate ranting of these meddlesome interlopers whose only mission is to undermine the credibility and towering influence of Mr. Peter Obi in the coalition-building process aimed at rescuing Nigeria”.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Labour Party, through a widely circulated statement issued on May 25, 2025 made it categorically clear that Mr. Peter Obi’s involvement in the coalition talks enjoys the full backing and blessing of the leadership of the Party”.

“The media and the general public are hereby enjoined to ignore these comedians of politics who are merely performing for their paymasters. They are well aware that the sun is fast setting on their charade, and their relevance – anchored solely on attacking Peter Obi – will evaporate the moment he completes his signified intention to join the newly birthed platform”.
