The Labour Party has distanced itself from claims that it is celebrating Peter Obi’s declaration to run for president in 2027 under its platform, describing the former presidential candidate as "confused" about his political intentions.
In a statement issued on Monday, May 26, by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiorah Ifoh, on behalf of National Chairman Julius Abure, the party said recent reports suggesting it was enthusiastic about Obi’s renewed ambition were inaccurate and do not reflect the current stance of its leadership.
