Amid a crisis rocking the Labour Party, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, said Peter Obi won’t be handed the LP ticket in 2027.
Arabambi stated this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Lunchtime Politics.
He argued that the party can exist without the LP’s 2023 presidential ticket.
“We are going to do our 2027 without Peter Obi; he will not have our ticket,” he said.
Arabambi also took a swipe at the LP’s acting National Chairperson, Nenadi Usman and activist, Aisha Yesufu, accusing them of conniving with Obi.
He stated that the party would take actions that would get rid of them from its fold.
The LP’s scribe challenged Obi to announce his exit from the party.
“Our plan is to get rid of these elements- people who are just an epitome of political extremism. We don’t want them in Labour Party.
“Now that they said they are going to ADC, we wish them well. Obi has one leg in Labour Party, one leg in PDP, and one leg in ADC.
“If he believes he has that proficiency on his own to have seven million votes in 2027 general elections, we advise him to pronounce his departure from Labour Party.
“The momentum in 2023 was not because of Peter Obi, but because of EndSARS. Obi was just a man who came to whip as a result of Nigeria’s tiredness of the scandalous administration of Buhari during the EndSARS.
“He only found Labour Party as that vehicle that can provide that change, and he was just opportuned to be the head,” he stated.
