I’m Not Planning To Leave LP…I Remain A Loyal Member-Peter Obi

 Mr Peter Obi,  a former governor of Anambra state, has clarified that he is not planning to leave  the Labour  Party (LP).

He asserted  that he remains a ‘faithful, committed, and loyal member of the Labour Party’.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Obi, who was the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election,  made this clarification following the reactions that greeted the press statement he issued  on Wednesday in which he had asserted that the Obidient Movement goes beyond any political party.

 Obi , in a series of posts on his X.com on Thursday, said the press statement in question  was to clarify issues that had earned the attention of his supporters.

He said, ‘For the avoidance of doubt, ‘I remain a committed, Loyal Labour Party member’. That is my definitive response to all Nigerians who may be in doubt about my party affiliation in the light of recent reports and conflicting interpretations of recent political expressions.

I have just been confronted by a Journalist at Abuja airport wanting to know if my statement on Obidient Movement yesterday is a signal of my leaving the Labour Party. For the attention of all those holding such an impression and for the general public, I remain a faithful, committed and loyal member of the Labour Party.

Indeed as a Leader of the party, my aspiration, and desire working closely with other Leaders is to reconcile our valued members, and partner with like minds, and parties all over the country to build a strong and better Party that will catalyze and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.

My statement yesterday was intended to clarify some issues that are of concern to our teeming supporters some of whom are not members of any political party but are desirous for a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is Possible’ he submitted.

Recall that Obi had in a statement he issued on Wednesday night boasted  about his ‘Obidient’ movement being  beyond any political party  in the country.

 ‘I like to categorically state that the Obidient Movement is not a directorate of any particular political party. Any individual or individuals claiming to be leaders of this non-existent directorate are simply not members of the broader Obidient Movement. There may be a youth mobilization directorate in political parties but the Obidient movement is far beyond a particular political party. The Obidient Movement is a diverse and inclusive collective that transcends traditional political, religious, and ethnic affiliations.

It is not domiciled within any particular party or headquartered in any particular part of the country.  Its membership spans across Africa and the globe, comprising individuals from various backgrounds, including rural communities, and public, private, and corporate entities, united by a shared vision for a New and better Nigeria. Guided by the principles of adaptive and transformative change, progress, discipline, and democratic values, the Obidient Movement advocates for fairness, equity, inclusivity, and justice’ he  had said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
