Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, announced on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ that Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor, will be the party’s candidate in the 2027 general elections.
Arabambi also spoke about the challenges that President Tinubu may face in the upcoming polls.
“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,” he said.
Arabambi criticized actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo for leaving the party, describing his departure as a positive development as the party aims to remove the current administration in 2027.
He expressed doubts about 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.
“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,” Arabambi stated.
