The Labour Party is preparing to expel Peter Obi, its 2023 presidential candidate, following his endorsement of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a coalition-backed party. Abayomi Arabambi, the party’s factional national publicity secretary, revealed that a NEC meeting will be convened to address Obi’s alleged anti-party activities.
Arabambi stated, “We’re convening a NEC meeting where Peter Obi will be expelled. You know he was on suspension before he went ahead to do the anti-party activities.” He stressed that Obi’s simultaneous association with two political parties is unconstitutional and unacceptable.
The official further accused Obi of instigating the party’s internal crisis and questioned his fitness to lead any political organization. Despite these accusations, Obi maintains his membership in the Labour Party and clarified that he is only a supporter of the ADC movement, not a member. He also reaffirmed his ambition to run for president in 2023, highlighting his qualifications.
