The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has dismissed claims that he is planning to leave the party.

He made this clarification while addressing party members during the ongoing National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja.

“I’ve not told anybody that I’m leaving the Labour Party,” he said

Obi stated that he has not entered into any discussions with any individual or group regarding his departure from the Labour Party. He emphasized that any decisions about the party’s future would be made in consultation with its stakeholders.

Recall that some days ago, the SDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Adewole Adebayo, said that a longlist of notable politicians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi are in talks to join the party ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
