The factional National Secretary of the Labour Party loyal to Julius Abure, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, says Peter Obi has rejected the party’s presidential ticket for the 2027 election.
This is coming barely 24 hours after Obi insisted that he is a member of the Labour Party, and that his name would be on the ballot in 2027.
But Ibrahim who spoke on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on Trust TV, stressing that the opposition parties have become too demoralised to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I can tell you, Obi is not going to contest presidential election. Obi is enjoying media publicity but 2027, he is not interested in it. We have offered him presidential ticket, he rejected it,” he stated.
The LP National Secretary further questioned Obi’s current political alignment, alleging that his recent moves had created uncertainty about his party affiliation.
