The Chief Spokesperson of Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Yunusa Tanko, has said that Peter Obi’s visit to the Labour Party headquarters on Tuesday was part of his move to reconcile different interests within the party and not to endorse anybody.
Obi’s visit to the party was followed by a statement by the party saying that its former presidential candidate in the 2023 election endorsed Julius Abure-led national working committee.
But in a statement on Wednesday, Tanko said that Obi’s visit was occasioned by his quest to resolve the misunderstanding between the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the party leadership.
“Obi’s visit to Labour Party yesterday was not to endorse anybody, but occassioned by his reconcilliatory move. Julius Abure in his speech stated clearly how Obi came to the office, and Obi in his speech clarified same, while preaching peace, and his mantra *Pursuit of better Nigeria for the poor*
“Leadership of NLC/TUC Political Arm Commorades Titus Amba and Chris Uyot who were informed of Obi travelling out today, hence will honour thier invitation, also met with him, and extensively discussed same peace move with them.
“Obi had repeatedly maintained that his interest was to carry everybody along into one strong family, and not to support one against the other.
“In all his meetings with all stakeholders, he has always maintained peace, and urge not to lose purpose which is to free Nigeria suffering and pain.
“The LP standards bearer plans to continue meeting with critical stakeholders, and groups to achieve all-inclusive political family with a common dream of rescuing Nigeria,” the statement read.
According to a trending video showing Peter Obi addressing members of the Labour Party on Tuesday at the Labour Party Headquarters in Abuja, it was discovered that Peter Obi did not endorse the Julius Abure-Led EXCO.
According to Dr Moses Paul who accompanied Peter Obi to the Labour Party Headquarters in Abuja. Obi only did a stopover at the Labour Party headquarters during his visit to the Saving Little Hearts Program in Abuja.
He said, “The visit was a stopover on his way to the SAVING LITTLE HEARTS PROGRAM by Hospitals for Humanity at the Cardiocare Multi-Specialist Hospital in Area 11, Garki, Abuja.
“At the LP HQ, the AMAC aspirants were formally received by the party National Chairman in preparation for the forthcoming elections.”
A Nigerian lady, Helen Williams, has achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Guinness World Record for creating the "widest wig."
According to the Guinness World Record on Monday, Williams crafted an hairpiece that measures 3.65 meters (11 feet 11 inches) wide and trails all the way to the floor, equivalent in length to a mini Cooper car which is 3.63 m (11 ft 10 in) long.
GWR revealed that Williams spent over a month creating her record-breaking masterpiece, using over 800 bundles of auburn hair, which cost a staggering N4,138,200 ( $2,719 or £2,150).
The 31-year-old made the majority of the wig by hand but used a sewing machine for some parts.
Speaking about her achievement, Williams, who also holds the record for most hair clips in a wig in 30 seconds with 90, said, “I am very proud of myself. I now hold three records.
“As a professional wig maker, I look forward to breaking many more records in the wig category. I enjoy taking on difficult tasks; it makes me a better person, and I learn new things.”
Williams revealed that she drew inspiration from actress and talk show host, Drew Barrymore, a former record holder. “I am a big fan of Drew Barrymore. She also inspired me,” she said.
Williams now boasts three records, including one for inserting 90 hair clips into a wig in just 30 seconds and another for creating the longest handmade wig.
