Peter Obi is principled and will not be caught in the business of political prostitution

Mynd44:
Sounds like gossip.

Stallionhorse:
What do you guys benefit from lies??

Joeyzinho:
Why not APGA ?

seunmsg:


Obi has no principle. He’s just a political prostitute just like the rest of them. When he was in APGA, he swore never to leave the party but today, he’s in PDP. If he’s going to be on the ballot in 2023, Labour or any other smaller party is his best bet.

EXCLUSIVE: Peter Obi dumps PDP, pulls out of presidential primaries

The frontline presidential aspirant feared he might be humiliated at the opposition party’s convention this weekend, Peoples Gazette heard.



Peter Obi, the presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, has left the main opposition platform, Peoples Gazette can report.

Mr Obi’s exit, coming on the eve of hotly-contested presidential primaries, came as the politician expressed fears he might be humiliated at the convention in Abuja.

Mr Obi confirmed his exit to Peoples Gazette on Wednesday evening, saying he caught wind of a gang up against him.

He did not immediately disclose his next platform.

The development is expected to put additional spotlight on the PDP’s primaries scheduled to be held in Abuja this weekend, where Mr Obi was initially seen as a front runner in a race that includes Atiku Abubakar, Nyesom Wike, Dele Momodu, Bukola Saraki and other bigwigs.

A spokesman for the PDP did not immediately return a request seeking comments.

A source familiar with the development said Mr Obi feared he might not do well at the convention, despite his widespread popularity and fame amongst everyday Nigerians

Labour party get structures?

BusinessDay gathered that Obi is joining the Labour Party (LP) to continue his presidential ambition.

Okupe, who addressed journalists shortly after submitting the letter, however said Obi will be on the ballot in the 2023 presidential race.

There are speculations that the former Anambra Governor might have quietly joined the Labour Party (LP) where he is said to have been offered the party’s presidential ticket.

Okupe said: “You will recall that consistently, former Governor Peter Obi has repeatedly stated that he’s not desperate to be President, but he’s desperate to cause a change, to cause a redirection, to change the way the government of Nigeria is being run and it’s for this reason and to offer solution to the various problems of Nigeria

Nebulax:
Obi should just forget about Nigeria Politics.

So many odds against him. He should save his money

Peter Obi may join Labour Party

...The PUNCH learnt that the former Anambra State governor had been in talks with the Labour Party and might be defecting to the party soon.

However, it remains unclear if he will be given the party’s automatic ticket as renowned political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, is expected to pick up the Presidential form of the Labour Party on Thursday.

As if I knew

Skyview01:
Labour party of Nigeria or UK?. The guy sabi waste him time and efforts.
He will never be a president in Nigeria. Why The North and most of the west will never vote for him and he doesn't have what it take to play national politics in Nigeria.
I believe he is a good man though.

2023: LP In Talks With Peter Obi – Pat Utomi



Professor Pat Utomi, one of the political stakeholders in the country has said that the Labour Party (LP) is in touch with a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi.

Obi, a former presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dumped the party on Wednesday to pitch a tent with another political party ahead of the 2023 polls.

Utomi confirmed to newsmen at the LP National Secretariat in Abuja on Thursday that he was one of those in touch with Obi, to pitch a tent with LP which he described as the winning party in 2023.

He said,” Yes, we are in touch. I’m in touch with Peter Obi.” Asked to share what their discussions have been, Utomi said,” We talked about the Nigerian condition, and how every person needs to collaborate.”

“If you take the temperature of the Nigerian people, if you feel their pressure, you will know that one thing they would not want is to have anything to do with APC or PDP. The two parties have run the country down. So rational people will vote out APC and PDP in 2023.”

Similarly, the LP National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure while receiving the expression of interest and nomination forms submitted by Comrade Joshua Chinedu Obika to contest the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constitution in the National Assembly said ‘the LP will surprise Nigerians in a few weeks’ time’ because of the bigwigs that would join it.

He said the LP under his watch would not impose candidates but provide a level playing field for all the aspirants, adding that the party has all it takes to defeat the APC and PDP in 2023.
