Ozigbo disclosed this while noting that Obi won’t run for the presidency under the LP platform.
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party will not contest the 2027 election under the party.
This is according to Valentine Ozigbo, the former Anambra State governorship candidate.
According to him, he does not see a future for the LP.
Ozigbo disclosed this while noting that Obi won’t run for the presidency under the LP platform.
The former member of the Obidient Movement resigned his membership in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2022 and joined LP to support Obi’s presidential ambition.
On February 19, Ozigbo defected from LP to the All Progressives Congress, APC, citing his “unwavering commitment” to the greater vision for the state.
In his resignation letter, Ozigbo said he informed Obi of his decision as a “mark of deep respect” for his leadership.
However, appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, the former governorship candidate said: “I don’t see a future for the Labour Party. I’m happy to live with that assertion, and I would like to be proven wrong.
“Peter Obi, that we are talking about, also left ANPP for APGA, then PDP, and later Labour Party, and I can almost guarantee that if he wishes to run for election, it’s not going to be under Labour Party.
“I can almost guarantee that. I am not his spokesperson.
“Maybe I am wrong, but I am a witness to a lot of discussions around coalitions, and I can tell you my own optimism about that.”
