The man gave labour party relevance, i had no Idea the party existed until Obi joined. The only labour party I know was the party in the UK

yarimo Costly mistake or not, peter OBI must contest for president in 2027 against president TINUBU





Can you imagine him winning the primaries while competing with figures like Atiku and El-Rufai within the same party?

The lack of integrity and shame in Nigeria's political actors is too embarrassing and shameful to many of us watching.

Not an obi fan and never believe he's right for Nigeria as president, but this man brought LP out from virtually nowhere and they even won federal and regional seats without any formal structure and for the first time defeated the current president in Lagos and Abuja.

We need no indication of where this statement is coming from; where brown envelope has changed hands and people without character, shame and integrity are playing on the sensibilities of the masses , majority of whom are gullible.

Resign and abandon those people that are contesting Anambra State elections later in the year that decamped to Labour Party because of him. Is that how to test popularity?

It is normal to have misunderstandings among the members of the same family but what we are seeing in Labor party and PDP is beyond normal party internal wranglings. It is the voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau. Arabambi and Wike are doing a hatchet job for Tinubu in both parties

Would you not still be one of those who will say "why did he decamp"?

Can you negate the points raised and answer the question asked?

It was a costly mistake not just for communist labourers in LP, but also for 200 million Nigerians, who have to bear the burden of four years more of ebilokan continuing the APC shege that he sold to us in the fake robes of change in 2015.

Thanks to the 100% tribesmen voting in the five SE states indirectly for ebilokan, the hope of returning to PDP prosperity days of deregulation and privatisation high employment productivity, was shattered. Instead we are seeing renewed hopelessness of hardship, hunger, unemployment, poverty, starvation, corruption, insecurity etc.

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

OBI WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO LABOUR PARTY.
When ADC Finally unseats tinubu, people will once more realise that OBI is the most potent magic wand in effort to salvage Nigeria from bandits and druggies in power.

There are too many factions for a small party like LP that hasn't won anything major.

Peter Obi shouldn't have joined the yeye party.

He should've chosen some other party.
Because these factions want to win cash prices instead of positions

This LP couldn't have done well in the last election without Peter Obi but equally, the party wouldn't have been in this current mess without him as well. It will take another 20 years before this party fully reset to host another popular candidate like Obi and Win a single region in an election. It was a sudden 5 steps forward and 8 steps backwards, the fate that now awaits ADC.
Re: Picking Peter Obi In 2023 Was A Costly Mistake – Labour Party Faction Laments by Olamideayomide(m): 8:39am On Jul 12, 2025
Imagine see this useless Labour party, who knows them initially at the presidential level?
Peter Obi makes your party to be more popular you are hear spewing trash.

I pity the party leaders for spoiling the party themselves because of power greediness.
