Apapa’s LP Faction Says Peter Obi Will Not Be Given Presidential Ticket in 2027

The Lamidi Apapa faction of the Labour Party revealed that it would not give Peter Obi its presidential ticket for the 2027 election.

That LP faction advised Peter Obi to seek another political platform to pursue his presidential ambition.

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

Arabambi said, the party would not  allow this kind of rascality to continue in 2027 as they will look for a fresh candidate.

He also said Obi is free to go back to APGA to run, saying he is not a good manager of human resources.

He also alleged that Obi who is accusing president Tinubu is also hiding his own B.Sc.

But reacting to the Apapa faction, the spokesman for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Yunusa Tanko, dismissed Arabambi’s threat.

He said the Apapa faction does not own the Labour Party and there is no need to give them attention.

On his part, the LP National Legal Adviser, Kehinde Edun, stated that it is the Abure faction that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC recognized.

He alleged that the Apapa faction are suspended members of the party, so they can’t determine who becomes the flag bearer.
