The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has said Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, is free to leave the party if he wants. This statement was made by NLC spokesman Benson Upah on Sunday.
Upah reiterated the NLC 's stance on Julius Abure's leadership, stating that despite what they consider an 'illegal' national convention that reinstated Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party , the union will not recognize his leadership. 'Our position on this matter is clear and has not changed. Abure remains unknown to us. It is not a question of removal. As far as we know, he does not exist,' he said.
Obi expressed his frustrations during a session on X, stating that he did not attend the national convention because the party leadership did not heed his appeal for wider consultation with stakeholders before the exercise. His recent comments have fueled speculations that he may be considering switching to another political platform, despite being assured the 2027 ticket at the convention.
