The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has debunked speculations and rumors that he was leaving the party.
This was contained in a statement released on Friday by the Peter Obi Media Reach.
According to the statement signed by Obi’s Media Aide, Micheal Jude Nwolisa, the LP candidate alleged that the speculations of him leaving the party from the news item on some online platforms was the handiwork of mischief makers.

POMR, in the statement, expressed its wish to outrightly “dismiss trending fake and fallacious news stories suggesting that he was parting ways with the Labour Party.”
The statement partly reads: “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.
“Those bent on creating a crisis in the Labour Party are clearly enemies of democracy wishing for the failed status quo to remain.
“Obi’s focus at the moment is on creating an environment where democracy is to be practiced according to the defined tenets not the rascality and all forms of impunity prevalent in the country today
“Peter Obi therefore would like to assure Nigerians, particularly the Obidient family that his way with Labour is unshaken and intact and that the struggle to rescue Nigeria from the criminal gangs holding it down will not stop until it’s achieved through the will of the Nigerian people.”
