Labour Party Gives Peter Obi 48 Hours to Leave
- The faction of the Labour Party led by Julius Abure gave Peter Obi a 48-hour deadline on Thursday, July 3, to officially resign from the party following his participation in a newly formed opposition coalition.
- The ultimatum was issued because Peter Obi became part of a newly formed opposition alliance led by the African Democratic Congress, a move the Labour Party rejects and views as a platform for conflicting political agendas.
- Labour Party spokesperson Obiora Ifoh claimed that Peter Obi has been meeting privately at night to persuade party members to defect to the new coalition, which he characterized as composed of recycled, desperate, and frustrated politicians.
- Ifoh stated, "You cannot be in one party during the day and in another by night," asserting the coalition does not represent the youth's aspirations and accusing its members of seeking power selfishly.
- The Labour Party emphasized its dedication to Nigeria's progress, cautioning against divided loyalties within its ranks and encouraging members to stay united and focused on the party's goals for the country's transformation.
