Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has declared that only loyal and competent members will be considered for elective positions under the party’s platform in the 2027 general elections.
Obi stated this during a National Executive Council, NEC, meeting with party stakeholders in Abuja.
He stressed the importance of rebuilding trust with the Nigerian electorate by presenting credible, dedicated candidates at all levels.
“We want to go into the next election fully prepared, offering Nigerians the best and most competent candidates for the House of Representatives, the Senate, Governorships, and the Presidency,” he said.
The former Anambra State governor also emphasized the need to learn from the past and ensure that the party’s ticket does not go to individuals lacking commitment to its ideals.
“Anyone seeking to contest under our party must be a committed member, not just someone passing through. They must be competent,” Obi said.
