Senator Victor Umeh representing Anambra Central has said those wooing the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi to abandon the party for another party in 2027, “may be on a wide goose chase”.
Umeh spoke on the heels of speculations that Obi is under pressure to return to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) where he might be given the ticket to contest against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), with the full backing of the PDP forces.
But speaking on the development, Senator Umeh said Obi would rather build and make LP more formidable ahead of 2027.
He said:” Wooing Peter Obi out of Labour Party will not be the right thing because LP gave him the limelight with which Nigerian people embraced him in the last election.
” So, whatever is happening is for him to build on the party and continue to make efforts to advance his interest. Those who are calling on him to abandon Labour Party may be on a wide goose chase”.
