The Factional National Chairman's Blast: Labour Party's Crisis and Peter Obi's Accusations Debunked
"Labour Party Challenges Peter Obi to Prove Alleged Collusion with APC Administration"
The flames of disagreement within the Labour Party (LP) continue to burn, with the factional National Chairman, Julius Abure, firing back at the party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi. In an interview on Arise Television on June 9, 2025, Obi accused the APC-led Federal Government of infiltrating the LP's leadership, allegedly causing the crisis within the party.
However, our sources report that an opposing statement by the party's factional National Secretary, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, on June 10, 2025, points the finger squarely at Peter Obi and Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, for creating the chaos in the Labour Party. TheLP accused Obi of constantly misinforming the public and challenged him to present proof of Abure's political alliances with the APC.
The Abure camp asserts that Obi has failed to meet the mark. They urged him to take responsibility for his actions rather than blaming the government for infiltrating the party, thus damaging its reputation.
The statement also emphasized that the Labour Party would not engage in any alliances with other parties and noted their missed opportunities to do so in 2023. They standoutside the realm of politicking with others, citing their steadfast support for Peter Obi and Alex Otti both before and after the general election.
The statement further read that Peter Obi's claims lacked evidence and were misleading, though he accused Abure of derisively referring to Abia State governor, Dr. Alex Otti as a 'dwarf.' The Labour Party leadership expresses their hope that Peter Obi will reflect on his actions and move away from what they deem to be misguided narratives. They call on Obi to produce any evidence suggesting that the leadership of the party is colluding with the APC-led government.
Despite the escalating conflict, the Labour Party remains steadfast, prepared to stand alone should the need arise.
