The Labour Party has told its followers to disregard its 2027 Presidential Candidates, Peter Obi’s directive instructing his followers to vote for the candidates of the ADC in the coming bye-election scheduled for Saturday, 16 August 2025.

The party in a strongly worded press release said that Peter Obi’s directive is misleading, mischievous and delusional.

‘A man who received so much goodwill from the party leadership but turned around to pay them with evil. This is why we have maintained that Peter Obi lacks the competence, character and capacity to actualise the vision of a new Nigeria.

‘What Obi does not know is that the Labour Party is on the ballot and our candidates are contesting the election in spite of all his efforts to strangulate the Labour Party. The party unknown to him has done everything within the law to ensure that our candidates participate in the bye-election and of course in all other future election’.

‘We are therefore encouraging our candidates, members and supporters across all the states where bye-election is holding to be focused and ensure that we carry out our civic duties by returning Labour Party and the candidates elected. Nigerians have come to know who Peter Obi really is’.
