Factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has lambasted the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi, stressing that he is too desperate to lead Nigeria as a president.
In a statement he personally signed on Thursday, Abure said Obi created the crisis in the Labour Party.
According to him, Obi’s desperation to control the soul of the party had made him go haywire.
Abure accused the former Anambra State governor of receiving so much goodwill from the party leadership and turning around to pay them with evil.
“This is why we have maintained that Peter Obi lacks the competence, character and capacity to actualise the vision of a new Nigeria.
“Nigerians should not forget in a hurry that it was Peter Obi that created the crisis in the Labour Party which he is now citing as a reason why people should not vote for the party,” Abure said.
Abure said this in response to Obi’s directives ahead of the August 16 by-elections across the country.
News360 Info recalls that Obi had asked his supporters to back the candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, during the forthcoming by-elections across some states in the country.
