The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi’s visit to Labour Party headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday was a reconciliatory move not to endorse any group interest in the party.
According to a statement signed by Dr Yunusa Tanko, Spokesman of Peter Obi Media Organization, Obi had repeatedly maintained that his interest was to carry everybody along into one strong family and not to endorse anyone’s interest.
The visit was part of the consultations Obi has been embarking on in search of peace in the party.
In line with this, he also met with the political arm of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC Trade Union Congress, and TUC, on Wednesday in continuation of his search for peace in the party.
At his meeting with the workers’ union, the leadership of the NLC/TUC political commission led by comrade Titus Amba and comrade Chris Uyot was also disposed to peace in the party.
At the meeting, he clearly made the point that the party needed to reconcile all various positions in a peaceful atmosphere to have a united house that should be all-inclusive.
He thanked the leadership of the political commission for their understanding and expressed the hope for a good working relationship very shortly. READ ALSO:
