EXCLUSIVE: Peter Obi Set To Labour Party



A frontline presidential aspirant of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Peter Obi, may have succumbed to pressure from groups asking him to dump the Peoples Democratic Party.

THE WHISTLER learnt on Tuesday that the former Anambra State governor has perfected plans to defect to the Labour Party for good, due to the politics of the PDP delegates’ election.

The Coalition for Peter Obi (COP) had piled pressure on the former governor to leave the PDP in order to realize his ambition to be president of Nigeria.

The groups warned Peter Obi that if he failed to leave the PDP, he would be seen in the light of career politicians who brought Nigeria to its knees.

The groups based their advice on reports that money bags in the PDP were doling out hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the delegates that will vote at the forthcoming PDP presidential primary.

They, therefore, advised Peter Obi to move to another political party to be at peace with his conscience and not to entangle himself in possible political negotiations or maneuvering that will stain him and hamper his ability to serve Nigerians.

This was disclosed in a statement tly signed by the conveners of the Coalition of over 17 groups that recently organized a One-Million-Man March that witnessed massive turnout across the 36 states of the federation and FCT.

Over 7 million Nigerians reportedly participated in the march which was held on Saturday, May 21, 2022.

The organizers of the march asked the PDP leadership to be transparent in their dealings and to give Nigerians Peter Obi, a leader with a proven track record of prudent management of resources and wealth creation.

The Coalition, with an estimated ten million active voters across the country, also berated the PDP for playing double standards and violating its own constitutional provision on zoning political offices, thereby toying with the future of our children.



Those who signed the issue on Tuesday morning include Alhaji Zubairu Mohammad Spokesman, O, for the following 17 pressure groups: Peter Obi Network (POSN); Like Minds for Peter Obi (LMPO); Nigeria Needs Peter Obi (NNPO); TakeBackNaija (TBN); Women for Peter Obi (WPO); Peter Obi FC (POFC); Peter Obi Movement for President (POMP); Associates of Peter Obi (APO/POE); Peter Obi Candidacy Movement (POCM); Peter Obi Ambassadors (POA); TeamOHO; Nigerian Diasporas for Peter Obi (NDPO USA); Peter Obi National Mandate (PONAM); Peter Obi for Good Governance (POGG); YES Peter Obi Group (YESPOSG); Peter Obi to the RESCUE Group (PORG); and 17. Nigeria Unites for Peter Obi (NUPO).

The statement reads: “Recent development within the leadership of PDP is very pathetic as many chieftains of the party have ganged up to frustrate the presidential ambition of genuine and decent presidential aspirants, thereby encouraging unscrupulous politicians with no verifiable sources of income to throw monies around.

“They are well-known individuals in the party who are doing everything possible within their powers to block any chance for credible aspirants to emerge. The Party seems to have adopted an unwritten rule of tacitly encouraging the looting of state resources for party politics.

“Many of these political merchants are envious of the nationwide acceptability and sterling performance of Peter Obi both in the public and private sector, making them do everything possible to thwart the former governor of Anambra state’s presidential ambition.

“Therefore, as a Coalition which consists of more than 17 groups with ten million active voters, we call on his Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi to dump Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and look for another political platform with people of like mind to pursue his presidential ambition to enable him help salvage our sinking nation”.

Obi has no principle. He’s just a political prostitute just like the rest of them. When he was in APGA, he swore never to leave the party but today, he’s in PDP. If he’s going to be on the ballot in 2023, Labour or any other smaller party is his best bet.

Fake ass news

Joeyzinho:

They prefer the ticket of the party they once ridiculed as Amala and ewedu and almajiri party than to build their own party.

Obi should just forget about Nigeria Politics.

So many odds against him. He should save his money

Peter Obi, anywhere you go, I go go.

You can sponsor all manner of gutter write up but Peter Obi is in your face for good.

Sounds like gossip.

Labour party of Nigeria or UK?. The guy sabi waste him time and efforts.
He will never be a president in Nigeria. Why The North and most of the west will never vote for him and he doesn't have what it take to play national politics in Nigeria.
I believe he is a good man though.

Same way Tinubu is said to be set to SDP?

Can you guys just give all these assumptions and fake exclusives a rest?

If or when they , we will know...but just quit with the postulations from (always nameless and questionable sources).

And being in our faces for now is all he’s going to ever achieve in politics. You see that PDP presidential ticket, he’s not going to smell it not to talk of touching it.

Mynd44:

If some folks can keep pushing the gossip that Tinubu is set to SDP, nothing wrong in insinuating that Peter Obi Pandora is set to Labour Party. It is all politics and nothing else.

OP you forgot one Group, Ashawo for Peter Obi in Nigeria Those in the Diaspora will go Public with their soon

Labour Party.....this Man suffering never start, Gov. Wike the Labour Prefect don turn Obi to Labourer

lol.

You see your life.

You are now a PDP member just because of mindless tribalism and hatred for a man of unimpeachable character....

In the final analysis, if the Almighty God has designed that it is an Igboman who will fix and save Nigeria, there is nothing noisemakers like you can do about it.

Peter Obi is an idea whose time has come.

Just take a chill pill and accept it.

In any case, don't get mad, get a PVC....

If Peter Obi leaves PDP to another party PDP would lose that's a certainty nothing can save PDP

adekolaelect:

Lack the Dollars to mobilise...

Be specific

Anywhere Peter Obi go....
My whole household are behind him


I will burn my international port if peter Obi win presidential election because i know a new Nigeria has arrived

Anything short of that....
Na japa level
