The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, who disclosed this said the party is united under Obi.
In a statement on Friday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, he said the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party is confident that Peter Obi has what it takes unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
The party also endorsed Governor Alex Otti of Abia State’s re-election bid and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as the party’s flag bearer in Lagos State.
Arabambi asserted that Nigerians especially the youths would vote massively for the party’s candidate.
He said, “Our major focus is getting the APC out of office only through the ballot box if Nigerians so desire, and not through illegitimate means”.
He said, “Peter Obi would once again represent the LP in the 2027 presidential race, and reiterated the party’s determination to support Governor Otti’s re-election bid in Abia and Rhodes-Vivour’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos”.
“We are united in our resolve to bring about a better Nigeria under the leadership of Peter Obi.”
