There are chances that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi may dump the party before the next general elections. This is coming just few days after the party reserved its presidential ticket for Obi in the 2027 elections.
Speaking during an online chat with his supporters on X (formerly twitter), Obi fropped hints of a likelihood of him pitching his tents elsewhere. He said his focus remains fixing Nigeria for the benefit of all citizens and said that the mission which the “Obidient Movement” has imbibed.
Obi said, “Our engagement is about Nigeria, they are trying to change our focus. What we want to do is not about Labour Party; it is about what the Obidients want to do about Nigeria.
“We are thinking about water, we are thinking about power, we are thinking about employment, thinking about security. That should be our focus.
“The other matter we will deal with. We were somewhere, we didn’t start with Labour.
“I’m a Christian. Jesus said, When you go into a city, try to change them, live with them, fast with them. in the end, you can’t, come out and even wash the sand that is on your shoes.
“He didn’t say go there and die with them. I tell you, I’m making spirited efforts to change them (LP), but I’m not going to die with them.
“That will not stop what we set out to do. We will try to change them (LP), if we can’t, we will leave them; we will not die with them.”
