Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party declares support for Peter Obi.

Labour Party's Acting National Chairman, Senator Nenadi Usman, has declared support for Peter Obi's involvement in the ongoing coalition arrangement led by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. 

This comes after the embattled National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, gave Obi 48 hours to resign from the party for participating in the coalition talks.

Describing Abure as a "jester", stating that those behind the ultimatum were neither recognized by the party nor by law, she pointed out that Abure and his cohorts had been sacked by the Supreme Court and suspended from the party for alleged serial acts of indiscipline and anti-party activities. 

According to her, the party had given its blessings to Obi to participate in the coalition talks aimed at creating a robust political alternative.

Recall that Obi, along with Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai, and other notable opposition figures, formally adopted the African Democratic Party (ADP) ahead of the 2027 general elections. 

Emphasizing that Obi's participation in the coalition activities was fully approved, and supported by the Labour Party's leadership, Usman urged the public and media to disregard the distractions and mischief from discredited elements, stressing that her office is the only legitimate source of information on the party's official position.
