Former presidential candidate,m of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, on Wednesday said the party would correct mistakes of the past in 2027.
Obi said LP would ensure that the right people emerge as its candidates during the 2027 general elections.
He spoke during LP’s National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja.
Obi said, “Let’s do the right thing, let’s go from ward to local government to state, to zone and nationally, everybody is free to contest.
We will ensure fairness and we want to build a party that will be fair, just, and a party people can look at and say ‘this is how this party is.’
We want to go into the next election knowing fully well that we are offering Nigeria’s the best of people for House of Assembly, House of Reps, Senate, governors, and every form of election.
We want to correct the mistake we made in the past, we are going to be sure that whoever wants to contest must be a Labour Party member and not on transit.
It’s going to be a party of ideology and not a party where you just elect people and they be come whatever goes on.
We must have senators who agree with us, even if we fail, we fail but it’s better to fail doing right than be on the side of wrong. We are going to do that for Nigeria.
