2023: Why Labour Party didn't field candidates for most positions - Obi's spokesman

Kenneth Okonkwo, a Spokesperson to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi has revealed why the party could not produce candidates

Peter Obi has taken a relatively small Labour Party into national limelight but despite its popularity, the party failed to get candidates for a number of Senatorial and House of Representatives seats, particularly in areas that are not his stronghold.

Okonkwo, who was on Arise TV on Tuesday, said the party prefers to leave the positions without a candidate rather than field unqualified candidates without character. “And at the time, the party had not become monstrously popular as it is now. So the entrance of Peter Obi made it attractive to Nigerians who are looking for escape routes from these structures of criminality.

“He will still be committed to the capacity, competency and character of each and every person. He would prefer that a seat is vacant rather than fielding incompetent or people who are not of character.
