The Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) says that their faction no longer considers the party’s flagbearer during the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi as their presidential candidate.

Speaking on this claim, Abayomi Arabambi, the national publicity secretary of the Apapa camp, made this known during an interview on a national television show, while reacting to Obi’s press conference on Bola Tinubu’s academic records.
 
According to Arabambi, the faction failed to recognise Obi because he approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) without any polling unit agent from the 176,846 polling units to support his case.

He accused Peter Obi of using their party to achieve an ambition that they don’t understand yet.

Arabambi said, “Well I refer to Peter Obi as our former candidate. In the comedy of a press conference he did today, he knew he had filed his appeal before the Supreme Court and the CSU saga is not part of his pleading before the Supreme Court but he seems to engulf himself more in this PDP (sic), what we call ‘Labour Party in PDP’ is what Peter Obi is doing and that is why we on our own refer to him as our former presidential candidate.

“Before now, he has ceased to be our candidate because going to the presidential election petition court without a single agent from the (176,846) polling units is a man who deliberately prepared to use us to achieve an ambition that we don’t understand”

We understand that Obi has filed an appeal before the Supreme Court challenging the judgment of the presidential tribunal which affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25th, 2023 election.

AKOKO-EDO ADVOCATES FOR HOMEGROWN RESTRUCTURING, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO SELF-DETERMINED DEVELOPMENT By Jennifer Nwosu  The Akoko-Edo Development Association (AEDA) has reaffirmed the collective desire of the Akoko-Edo people to shape their administrative future through inclusive dialogue and locally inspired proposals, rather than externally driven initiatives. In a statement signed by Barrister Mrs. Mary Opii, Secretary of AEDA, the association emphasized the importance of community consensus in any restructuring process, gently clarifying that the people of Akoko-Edo were not consulted in a recent proposal advocating the creation of Agbelo East and West Local Government Areas. The proposal, credited to Hon. Anamero Dekeri, representing Etsako Federal Constituency was described as one that does not reflect the views or aspirations of Akoko-Edo constituents. AEDA noted that Hon. Dekeri’s constituency does not include Akoko-Edo and as such, his proposal though possibly ...
