Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has dismissed speculation that he may team up with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or any other candidate as a running mate.


Obi also clarified that the coalition of opposition parties, which recently adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform ahead of 2027, was not a departure from the Labour Party, nor was it an act of disloyalty.


Emphasizing that inclusive leadership was essential to national progress, the former Anambra state governor also took a swipe at the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, criticising its handling of governance and promising to offer a more disciplined and competent leadership if elected.
