Obi had in a statement issued on his verified X platform on Wednesday disowned the leadership of Labour Party in the creation of a directorate for Obidient Affairs.
The former presidential candidate in another X platform on Thursday, stated that he was confronted by a journalist at Abuja airport concerning the statement and whether it was a signal of him leaving the party.

Obi stated that as a leader of the party, he is working closely with other leaders to reconcile “Our valued members, and partner with like minds, and parties all over the country to build a strong and better party that will catalyse and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.
“My statement (on Wednesday) was intended to clarify some issues that are of concern to our teeming supporters some of whom are not members of any political party but are desirous for a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is POssible.”
