Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has denied claims that he is planning to leave the party.
He addressed the matter during the ongoing National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, where he made it clear that he has not held any talks with anyone about leaving the party.
Obi explained that any decisions about his political future or the party’s direction would involve discussions with those working with him in the party.
He said this to clarify recent speculation surrounding his political stance, which had triggered concerns among his supporters.
Obi, who served as the governor of Anambra State, spoke directly to members of the party to clear the air.
He also stressed that he remains committed to the Labour Party and has not given any indication of moving to another platform.
His response came as members gathered in Abuja to discuss party matters and the way forward.
This comes at a time when the Labour Party is trying to stay united after a busy political season and court battles, including a recent Supreme Court decision that supported the party’s caretaker committee.
