Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Labour Party (LP)’s National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, said President Bola Tinubu won’t have a smooth sail.
“Tinubu is not just going to have it very easy in 2027, we are coming back with that Peter Obi to them so that they will know we are very serious,” Arabambi said on Channels Television’s Politics programme.
Obi was LP’s presidential candidate in 2023 but lost to Tinubu, the then-candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He came third in the polls, trailing former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Arabambi faulted actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, over his decision to dump the party.
He described Okonkwo’s exit as a relief for the party as it plans to unseat the present administration come 2027.
He doubted Okonkwo’s loyalty to the LP, accusing him of working for President Tinubu and the ruling APC.
“And we wish Kenneth Okonkwo well, his resignation is good riddance to bad rubbish. He should not speak about the Labour Party anymore,” Arabambi stated.
“There is no leadership crisis in the Labour Party. Labour Party is not going into extinction. It is just a figment of the imaginations of most of our detractors,” he added.
