The Lamidi Apapa faction of the Labour Party (LP) has stated that it will not run Peter Obi for president in 2027.

That LP group recommended Peter Obi to seek another political platform from which to pursue his presidential ambitions.

The faction’s spokesman, Abayomi Arabambi, told The PUNCH on Wednesday that Obi should not waste time pursuing an appeal against Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court, emphasizing that the former Anambra State Governor lost the election due to his alleged mismanagement of human resources.

Arabambi said, “My advice is for him (Obi) to go and start preparing for 2027. But it has to be in another party, not in LP. We are not going to allow this kind of rascality to continue in 2027. We will look for a fresh candidate as far as we are concerned.

“Obi is free to go back to APGA to run, not Labour Party. We don’t want to continue accommodating a character who believes no other person, other than himself, has anything upstairs. He is not a good manager of human resources. That was why he lost woefully.

“Let me ask Obi, who is accusing President Bola Tinubu of certificate fraud, this question. Obi claimed he has a B.Sc. Did he present the B.Sc in his form? Was it not the school certificate he wrote there? Why is he hiding his own B.Sc? That is because he knew they could subpoena the vice chancellor or the registrar to come and confirm its authenticity.”

There is no need to pay them any attention.
However, in response to the Apapa group, Yunusa Tanko, spokeswoman for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, downplayed Arabambi’s warning.

“They (the Apapa faction) do not own the Labour Party,” he remarked. That is why I don’t want to argue with them. There is no need to pay attention to these folks.”
