Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Project Lands In Labour Party

BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – Just days after ‘fleeing’ from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over alleged ‘irreconcilable differences in principles’, former Governor of Anambra State and presidential aspirant, Peter Obi seems to have landed safely in the Labour Party (LP) in pursuit of his political ambition.

Announcing his decision Friday evening on his official Twitter account, Obi said; “…I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production; and that is the Labour Party which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family. I invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured that I’ll never let you down,” he wrote.

I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria.

This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator. — Peter Obi (@PeterObi) May 27, 2022

Mr Obi is expected to continue his presidential ambition on the Labour Party platform. Before leaving the PDP, Mr Obi was one of the 15 presidential aspirants cleared by the country’s main opposition party to vie for its presidential ticket.

His words on Friday: “I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria.

“This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator. Since I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my persona and principles, I have consulted widely with various parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination.

“For me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter.

“Therefore, I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production; and that is the Labour Party which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.

“I invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured that I’ll never let you down.”
