Peter Obi Shuts Down Exit Rumours, Reaffirms Loyalty to Labour Party
Amid swirling talk of possible defection, Peter Obi has made it clear—he’s not going anywhere.
The former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate addressed leaders and members of the Labour Party during a key meeting in Abuja, putting an end to speculation about his future with the party.
“I’ve never told anyone I’m leaving the Labour Party,” Obi said firmly, cutting through the noise with a straightforward declaration.
Lately, the party has been wrestling with internal disagreements and public uncertainty about its leadership direction. But Obi used the moment to calm nerves and bring focus back to what matters—unity and shared purpose.
He emphasized that any decisions about the party’s next steps will be built on collective input and open dialogue. “Whatever we decide must come from conversation and reflect the people who believe in this cause,” he told party stakeholders.
For many within the Labour fold, Obi’s words served as a timely reassurance. With his strong appeal among young Nigerians and citizens pushing for reform, his presence is still a driving force behind the movement.
As the party continues its strategic meetings, the focus has shifted to strengthening internal collaboration and building on the momentum gained during the last election.
Despite the growing pains, one message stood out: Obi is still very much in, and he’s urging the party to move forward together.
