By Funmi Bewaji

The acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi, on Tuesday, said that Mr. Peter Obi, remains the presidential candidate of the party.

Arabambi in a statement made available to News Contact Online, faulted news making the round that Mr. Samson Uchenna is the candidate of the party.

He submitted that Samson was a former presidential aspirant of the party, adding that he voluntarily withdrew his aspiration in support of Obi.

Arabambi faulted the claim by @PDPVanguard and urged the group to stay away from the activities of the party.

The statement reads, ” Labour Party debunk this unsavory and mischievous misrepresentation of the 2023 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY of the Labour Party (LP) by the @PDPVanguard

” The @PDPVanguard as an agent of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP is hereby advised to stay on the path of professionalism and avoid taking sides with faceless people who have no bearing with the legitimate Political actives of the Labour Party (LP) on very weight issues as the transparently free, democratically credible, free and fair Presidential primaries that brought in PETER GREGORY OBI, the former Governor of Anambra state as the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE of the Labour Party (LP) in the 30th May, 2022 primaries that took place in Asaba the Delta state capital in South South Nigeria 

” For the avoidance of doubt, Labour Party (LP) wishes to commend the sportsmanship of Barr Sampson Uchenna Charles who was one of the four (4) Presidential aspirants that voluntarily stepped down there by paving the way for the PETER OBI as the sole Aspirant culminating in his emergence as the Labour Party’s sole 2023 presidential candidate.

“Nigerians are enjoined to keep up the pace and also speed up the political tsunami reaction that is sweeping the entire Political landscape with Labour Party (LP) and PETER OBI 2023 for total OBI-DIENCE

“Labour Party in fact hereby formulate the following questions  from PDP vanguard  for the details of the Convention that produced this Samson Uchenna , the date, venue and was it supervised by the INEC ?

“We, in Labour Party, are aware that this is a mere rubbish being pushed by the jinxed opposition with the Knowledge and acknowledged bias for nauseating and baseless internet misinformation . It is highly unethical and despicable.

“We happen to know that the PDP Vanguard who did author the criminal lies is aware and it knows beyond all doubts that it is the same   PDP that has destroyed the economy of this country in the past 16years .

“It is quite very understandable that the PDP with the liability of their  party candidate as represented should be jittery because of the emergence of the new sheriff in town PETER OBI on the platform of Labour Party with records of good and undisputed records of fine Governance.”
