Peter Obi denies leaving Labour Party, says: “This is not true”

Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has refuted speculations suggesting that he is parting ways with the party.

In a statement released by the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), Obi distanced himself from the news circulating on certain online platforms.

The statement, signed by Michael Jude Nwolisa, Obi’s Media Aide, vehemently dismissed the rumours, labelling them as the handiwork of mischief makers.

The statement emphasized that the information did not originate from Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement.

The POMR expressed its commitment to dismissing such false and fallacious news stories, noting that they are aimed at sowing discord within the party.

Part of the statement read: “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.’’
