The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has dismissed rumours of a rift between the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi and the acting National Chairman of the party, Nenadi Usman.
In a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja, Tanko described the rumours as baseless.
He said Obi remains a committed and loyal member of the Labour Party.
“His Excellency, Peter Obi, has consistently affirmed that he remains a member of the Labour Party, under the leadership of Sen. Nenadi Usman,” the coordinator said.
“He has also clearly stated his support for all individuals who had previously secured the party’s ticket to contest political positions.
“The rumour that Peter Obi has betrayed Sen. Nenadi Usman is entirely baseless, and a distraction.”
“The speculation began after Peter Obi attended the campaign flag-off of the Labour Party governorship candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, in Anambra last weekend.
“Senator Nenadi Usman and other key stakeholders in this movement are fully aware of and support the recent developments.
“Let’s not forget that Mr. Peter Obi is a man of integrity, known for keeping his word. His decision to support Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for Anambra, reflects that consistency.
“So far, the only individuals who have spoken on these matters are senators, members of the House of Representatives, state Assembly members and I. This marks a clear departure from the old political order.”
Tanko, therefore, urged Nigerians to disregard the speculation and treat it as mere propaganda, built on falsehood and aimed at stirring unnecessary controversy.
“Our focus remains on one goal: building a strong movement, a united Labour Party and a better Nigeria. That, we shall achieve,” he concluded.
