I Remain A Member Of Labour Party – Peter Obi’

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has affirmed that despite his association with the ADC, he continues to be a member of the Labour Party.

Obi made this statement during a rally held to launch the Labour Party’s governorship campaign in preparation for the state gubernatorial election. The former Anambra governor also noted that he is involved in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, which opposition leaders have chosen as the platform to oppose the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

“I will start the conversation by clarifying some confusions making the rounds, and I need to explain to you. It is very important that I clarify this because people are saying, ‘Oh! Obi is in the ADC and also in the Labour Party.

Let me put it categorically clear: I and the National Assembly members of the party are part of the coalition that has adopted ADC for the 2027 elections, and other parties will join us.

But today, we are members of the Labour Party. If anybody asks you which party Peter Obi belongs to today, tell them Peter Obi is in the Labour Party. If anybody asks you about the coalition, tell them, ‘Yes’, the coalition is for 2027.”he said

Obi also announced his plan to run for president again, asserting that he remains the most capable candidate.

‘’Everyone has the right to run for president—I won’t stop anyone. But if anyone asks, let them know I am in the race, and no one does it better than me.

It is important that they know that, and that is why we are here to initiate the campaign of the Labour Party governorship candidate in Anambra State, Dr. George Moghalu.

Our candidate is soft-spoken, focused, and an achiever. He is a product that is highly marketable, and I am confident that with him as our flagbearer, good governance and people-orientated leadership are assured.”he said.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
