The Labour Party, LP, says it would field former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, as its candidate in the 2027 general elections

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, stated this on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, adding that Tinubu would not have a smooth sail in the next general polls.

“Tinubu is not just going to have it very easy in 2027, we are coming back with that Peter Obi to them so that they will know we are very serious,” he said.

Arabambi also faulted actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, over his decision to dump the party, describing his exit as a relief for the party as it plans to unseat the present administration come 2027.

The Publicity Secretary doubted Okonkwo’s loyalty to the LP, accusing him of working for President Tinubu and the ruling APC.

“And we wish Kenneth Okonkwo well, his resignation is good riddance to bad rubbish. He should not speak about the Labour Party anymore.
