Labour Party Apologises to Nigerians for Fielding an Unfit Presidential Candidate in 2023


The leadership of the Labour Party has taken note of the defection of its 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, alongside some of his supporters, to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). We also observed the lacklustre address delivered by Mr. Obi at the event and are left wondering what new ideas he intends to offer Nigerians.

For the Labour Party, this development did not come as a surprise. As far back as September 2024, the party had effectively parted ways with Mr. Obi and some of his unquestioning supporters within the National Assembly. We have patiently awaited this moment. The party is finally liberated by this defection, which we consider a blessing rather than a loss.
