_PRESS RELEASE FROM THE LABOUR PARTY_

*LABOUR PARTY WELCOMES PETER OBI’S DEFECTION TO THE ADC*


As the nation may recall, on 26th May 2025, the Labour Party issued a statement confirming that the participation of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, in the ADC coalition received the full blessings of the party. Subsequently, following the official unveiling of the ADC in July 2025, the Labour Party issued a follow-up statement on 3rd July 2025, reiterating its earlier position and support for Mr. Obi’s political engagement with the ADC.

Following Mr. Peter Obi’s eventual formalization of his entry into the ADC today, the Labour Party wishes to inform its teeming members across the federation that the party has not withdrawn the initial support extended to its 2023 presidential candidate. While the leadership of the Labour Party continues its determined struggle to reclaim the party from the stranglehold of entrenched interests bent on foisting a one-party system on our body politic, we wish to reassure members nationwide that there is no cause for alarm.

Following Mr. Obi’s anticipated exit, all statutory organs of the Labour Party will convene to chart a fresh and sustainable course for the party. We are confident that the fortunes of the party will be revitalised in no time. Even as the party works assiduously to fill the void created by the recent wave of defections, we reassure our members that the Labour Party will return stronger, better organised, and more focused. The ongoing membership revalidation and registration exercise is designed to inject new energy into the party, and we are pleased to note that the exercise is already yielding positive results.

We further assure the Nigerian people that the Labour Party, under the able and visionary leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman, will continue to do what is right and offer Nigerians a credible and people-centred alternative to the APC’s rudderless government in 2027. We remain confident that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

As we wish all lovers of democracy a prosperous New Year, the Labour Party appeals to Nigerians to continue to sustain their faith in democracy, even in the face of the despair and hopelessness being imposed on them by the groping APC government. With collective resolve and renewed determination, it shall indeed be better come 2027.

Senator Nenadi Usman

The Nenadi Usman-led Interim leadership of the Labour Party, LP, says it supported the defection of the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

This is according to a statement by Usman’s Special Adviser (Media), Ken Asogwa, in Abuja, late on Wednesday.

In the statement, Usman noted that Obi enjoyed the party’s support to participate in coalition talks from the start.

She recalled that on 26th May 2025, the Labour Party gave its full blessings to Obi to join the ADC coalition.

She said that the Labour Party has not withdrawn its initial support to Obi following his eventual formalization of his entry into the ADC.

According to her, while the leadership of the Labour Party continues its determined struggle to reclaim the party from the stranglehold of entrenched interests bent on foisting a one-party system, it reassures members nationwide that there is no cause for alarm.

“We give Peter Obi our full support as he joined the ADC. Following Mr Obi’s anticipated exit, all statutory organs of the Labour Party will convene to chart a fresh and sustainable course for the party.

“We are confident that the fortunes of the party will be revitalised in no time.
“Even as the party works assiduously to fill the void created by the recent wave of defections, we reassure our members that the Labour Party will return stronger, better organised, and more focused.

"The ongoing membership revalidation and registration exercise is designed to inject new energy into the party, and we are pleased to note that the exercise is already yielding positive results,” she said.

Another one. Why make a sweeping reckless statement. You said negative things about Obidients trying what again ?

Now you are forming " i am innocent", a typical character of Taqyiyah students

Happy New Taqyiyah cheesy

LoL, I was just trying to be respectful and close the discussion. I'm more obidient than you, because me and my friends delivered for PO in my polling unit in the last election. I'm not like you lots that start and end your campaign on social media.
The thing is just that obi is becoming too desperate right now, he should allow Tinubu to finish then come forward simple.

BTW what is Taqyiyah? Me na only alamajiri school i go

A alnost good Student of Taqyiyah always claims to be Obidients while still crying to stand on a certain mandate

See how you exposed yourself to prove how good you are in the use ofTaqyiyah. You still need more lessons from the Master of Taqyiyah Sheikh Gumi to help you polish that Finesse to using Taqyiyah

Always making sweeping remarks

Just go for more lessons in Taqyiyah. Without it, you will be quickly exposed.

Call the Master and fix a Taqyiyah extended tutorial

You guys should not bring your arrogance and confusion to ADC ooo. It's Atiku/Obi ticket. Obi can't be our presidential candidate
Re: Peter Obi defected to ADC with our full support – Nenadi-Led Labour Party by fasho01(m): 11:19am On Jan 01
Yet the opposition was being blamed for the woes of the party. Now we know it was a collaborative inside job

He's not from the Obidient family you can tell. He's purely for Asiwaju and thinks he can make a mockery of Obi.

Negative.
Unfortunately, SDP has been purchased by your master, Tinubu.

Some people wont see anything wrong for a party endorsing their prostitute porting to another party. However, the same set of people will be castigating Wike working for the APC from the PDP. Is that not derangement?
