The national working committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP) yesterday endorsed the 2023 Presidential candidate of the party, Mr Peter Obi as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The national publicity secretary of the party, Mr Abayomi Arabambi, disclosed this in a statement.
He announced that the party endorsed the incumbent governor of Abia State, Mr Alex Otti and Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as the party’s flag bearers in Lagos and Abia states respectively.
The party expressed confidence that Obi will unseat the All Progressives Congress- (APC) government in the 2027 presidential election.
Arabambi said many Nigerians, especially the youths, are yearning for Obi due to Tinubu’s policies that are not favourable to the masses.
He added that the main focus of the LP in 2027 is to unseat President Bola Tinubu through democratic means with Obi as the front-runner for the presidency.
“Our major focus is getting the APC out of office only through the ballot box if Nigerians so desire, and not through illegitimate means. “Peter Obi would once again represent the LP in the 2027 presidential race” he said and reiterated the party’s determination to support Otti’s re-election bid in Abia and Rhodes-Vivour’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos”.
“We are united in our resolve to bring about a better Nigeria under the leadership of Peter Obi,” Arabambi added.
