Peter Obi has said he is not quitting the Labour Party, the platform with which he contested the 2023 presidential election.
The Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate made this known, according to a statement released on Friday by the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR).
The statement released by Mr Michael Nwolisa, Media Aide to Peter Obi, dismissed reports about the Labour Party candidate quitting the party, describing the news as fake and fallacious.
Nwolisa said the report was not true and it did not originate from Obi or the “Obidient” Movement but from mischief makers bent on sowing seeds of discord in the party.
“These rising misdemeanors on the party did not start today as they set out to destroy and disorganise the party all to get at Obi.
“Presently, our principal is preoccupied with making Nigeria work but not on partisan politics which ended on Oct. 26, 2023, when the Supreme Court of the land took its final decision on the presidential election,” he said.
Nwolisa said that those bent on creating crisis in the LP were clearly enemies of democracy.
He said, Obi’s focus at the moment is on creating an environment where democracy would be practiced according to the defined tenets, without impunity which is prevalent among politicians.
“Peter Obi, therefore, will like to assure Nigerians, particularly the “Obidient” family that his way with LP is unshaken and intact.”
He stated that the struggle to rescue Nigeria from those that had been holding it down would not stop until achieved through the will of the Nigerian people.
