The Labour Party (LP) leadership has clarified that its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will not be tempted to work with President Bola Tinubu’s government of national unity. This statement comes in response to speculation that Obi might consider working with Tinubu amid controversies surrounding President Tinubu’s academic records.
Obi recently criticized leaders who falsify their credentials or age, stating that they cannot be trusted to lead honestly and with integrity. He emphasized the importance of leaders coming into office through the right processes.
The LP has also cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, not to involve Peter Obi in his disputes with President Tinubu. LP emphasized that Obi is currently focused on reclaiming what they consider their “stolen mandate” through the ongoing legal process, and there is no intention of working with the government until the Supreme Court’s decision is reached.
In summary, the LP leadership has emphasized that Peter Obi is primarily focused on his legal appeal and will not entertain the idea of working with the government until the legal process is concluded.
