The Media Team to Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate for the 2023 general election, has denied claims that Mr Obi has endorsed Comrade Julius Abure as the substantive Chairman of the Labour Party.

A statement signed by Dr. Tanko Yunusa, chief spokesman of Obi’s presidential campaign council on Wednesday, clarified that Obi’s visit to the party’s National Headquarters and subsequent meeting with Abure on Tuesday were not endorsements but efforts aimed at reconciling feuding party leaders.

The Spokesman noted that Obi previously visited the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (Political Arm) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC). The two labour unions are the registrants of the LP and they claim its ownership.

Peter Obi address supporters at Labour Party National Secretariate, Utako, Abuja after meeting party leadership on Tuesday.

Mr. Abure emerged as Chairman against the wishes of the union. They have refused to recognize him as party chairman.

The visit was part of the consultations Obi has been embarking on in search of peace in the party. At his meeting, he made the point that the party needed to reconcile all various positions in a peaceful atmosphere to have a united house that should be all-inclusive. The LP standard bearer also plans to meet with other critical stakeholders like the Obidients to have an all-inclusive political family with a common dream of rescuing Nigeria”, Yanusa clarified.

Mr Obi had come under criticism for failing to rein in the warring groups at the time of the disputed party’s national convention in Nnewi on March 27. The internal power struggle threatened the tear the party apart.

Obi is still beloved by his followers and remains a veritable political force in Nigeria. He is tipped as a potent challenger to President Bola Tinubu in 2027 if he can cobble together opposition parties now in disarray.
