A factional leader of the Labour Party (LP), Abayomi Arabambi, has revealed that the party will expel its 2023 presidential standard bearer, Peter Obi, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State and other members who are currently suspended.
Arabambi who is the factional Publicity Secretary of the LP, said this during an interview on Television Continental (TVC) where he also stated that the party will soon hold a national convention.
He said he believes that the LP will soon expel both Obi and Otti whom he accused of causing problems within the party.
“These characters troubling our party are a few selfish Nigerians that are after their own personal aggrandisement. We will not allow them to ruin our party,” Arabambi said, adding that the Supreme Court never removed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of LP, contrary to the claim of some other factions.
Arabambi also spoke about how the party plans to restore peace, making it clear that such can only be achieved through a national convention.
“There can be only one solution which a national convention will soon unleash. It is to expel Peter Obi, Governor Alex Oti and others. They are currently under suspension. I assure you that they will be expelled soon,” he said.
The Labour Party (LP) on Wednesday suspended indefinitely Abia State Governor, Otti, Senator Ireti Kingibe and four others over allegations of anti-party activities.
According to a statement by the National Secretary of the Labour Party, Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, Hon. Amobi Ogah and Hon. Seyi Sowunmi were also suspended.
Ibrahim said by this suspension, these former members of the party will no longer act for and on behalf of the LP.
