Factional National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, LP, Abayomi Arabambi, has accused the party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, of planning to overthrow President Bola Tinubu.
Arabambi disclosed that Obi and Ajaero are planning to forcefully break into the National Assembly and “Aso Rock” to overthrow Tinubu.
Condemning the planned one-million-man rally, Arabambi accused Obi of doing everything possible to make Nigeria ungovernable.
In an interview on News Central TV’s programme, Breakfast Central, Arabambi said Obi and Ajaero have their eyes on the presidency, but they lack the right strategy.
He said: “Peter Obi and Joe Ajaero have been planning everything possible to make Nigeria ungovernable, this is a man that has never spoken well about our country since 2023 and that is unpresidential as far as I’m concerned.
“As a Nigerian, if you don’t have any good in your country, you have an aim to make sure that administration does not succeed, that is not the function of the opposition, it’s just for you to put the ruling party on their toes.
“Whatever they are doing you must come out with a possible solution, it’s not just for you to be willing for the failure or downfall of that administration.
“When he was a governor, you all knew what the man going about with him then, Umeh, said about him during their second term.
“He called Obi a rebel, he said Obi is a man who wants to be controlling him but he, as APGA National Chairman, is not open to control.
“Peter Obi and Ajaero should explain to Nigerians and the National Security Adviser what exactly they want to do with the one-million-man rally, are they campaigning for Obi to be president under which party? This is not an election period and you are now claiming that you want to mobilize one million people.
“It is an attempt to forcibly enter the National Assembly and Aso Rock and overthrow the president. Peter Obi and Ajaero have their eyes on the presidency but they don’t want to do it through elections.”
