Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has stated that he remains a chieftain of the party, despite being a vibrant member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) opposition coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.

Naijaonpoint reports that Peter Obi, during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, said his actions do not in any way constitute anti-party activity.

The former Governor of Anambra State emphasised that the coalition is seeking better governance for this country and wants to see a more competent government with the capacity and character to deliver.

He said, “The coalition just adopted a party for 2027. So, we are trying to work together for the sake of Nigeria.

“Today, I am a Labour Party member. I remain in the Labour Party. But we have all agreed to work as a coalition for the 2027 election, and for that, we’ve adopted ADC. Going on, other parties, other individuals will also come in.

“We want better governance for this country. We want to see a more competent government with capacity and character.

“This coalition might have other parties as it happened in the past, and change the name of the party.

“I am a member of this (Labour Party) and I am going to work with this group.

“No, there is no anti-party. Remember, we said for 2027. We are not in 2027; we are in 2025. It’s clear. We’ve adopted it for 2027. So, if I say I am going to be part of your dinner in the evening, that doesn’t mean I should abandon my breakfast and lunch.”
