● Otti, Rhodes-Vivour for governor
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP) on Friday endorsed the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The party, which has equally endorsed Governor Alex Otti of Abia State’s re-election bid and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as the party’s flag bearer in Lagos State, expressed confidence that Obi will unseat President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, who disclosed this in a statement he made available to Vanguard in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, said many Nigerians; especially youths were yearning for Obi due to Tinubu’s policies that were not favourable to the masses.
According to Arabambi, the main focus of the Labour Party in 2027 was to unseat President Tinubu in 2027 through democratic means, with Peter Obi as the front-runner for the presidency in 2027.
He said, “Our major focus is getting the APC out of office only through the ballot box if Nigerians so desire, and not through illegitimate means.”
He said, “Peter Obi would once again represent the LP in the 2027 presidential race, and reiterated the party’s determination to support Governor Otti’s re-election bid in Abia and Rhodes-Vivour’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos.
“We are united in our resolve to bring about a better Nigeria under the leadership of Peter Obi.” [Vanguard]
