The Labour Party (LP) is gearing up for a strong challenge in the 2027 general elections with Peter Obi as their candidate once again. This statement, made by Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, signals a continued commitment to their previous campaign, despite Obi’s loss to President Tinubu in 2023. The LP’s confidence is clear, as Arabambi emphasized that Tinubu won’t have an easy path in 2027, and they’re preparing for a strong comeback.
Arabambi also addressed Kenneth Okonkwo’s departure from the party, dismissing his exit as inconsequential and even positive for the LP. He questioned Okonkwo’s loyalty, implying that he might have been working for the APC, and dismissed any claims of a leadership crisis within the LP.
The LP’s strategy seems to be focused on consolidating support and challenging the current administration in 2027, with Peter Obi once again at the forefront. What do you think about the party’s prospects for the 2027 elections, considering Obi’s previous performance and the current political landscape?
