Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, has dropped a significant hint regarding the possibility of leaving the party ahead of the 2027 election season.
Speaking during an engagement with his supporters on his Verified X space, hosted by Parallel Facts, he emphasized his unwavering commitment to making Nigeria work for all citizens.
The former Anambra State Governor firmly stated that he refuses to be distracted from his primary focus.
Despite the contrived crisis within the Labour Party, neither he nor his supporters are willing to fall for any diversionary tactics.
Obi said, “Our engagement is about Nigeria, they are trying to change our focus. What we want to do is not about Labour Party; it is about what the Obidients want to do about Nigeria.
“We are thinking about water, we are thinking about power, we are thinking about employment, thinking about security. That should be our focus.
“The other matter we will deal with. We were somewhere, we didn’t start with Labour.
“I’m a Christian. Jesus said, When you go into a city, try to change them, live with them, fast with them. in the end, you can’t, come out and even wash the sand that is on your shoes.
“He didn’t say go there and die with them. I tell you, I’m making spirited efforts to change them (LP), but I’m not going to die with them.
“That will not stop what we set out to do. We will try to change them (LP), if we can’t, we will leave them; we will not die with them.”
