Presidential hopeful Peter Obi says he remains a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) despite being a vibrant member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) opposition coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
He said, “The coalition just adopted a party for 2027. So, we are trying to work together for the sake of Nigeria.
“Today, I am a Labour Party member. I remain in the Labour Party. But we have all agreed to work as a coalition for the 2027 election, and for that, we’ve adopted ADC. Going on, other parties, other individuals will also come in.
“We want better governance for this country. We want to see a more competent government with capacity and character.
“I am a member of this (Labour Party) and I am going to work with this group.
“No, there is no anti-party. Remember, we said for 2027. We are not in 2027; we are in 2025. It’s clear. We’ve adopted it for 2027. So, if I say I am going to be part of your dinner in the evening, that doesn’t mean I should abandon my breakfast and lunch.”
