2023: Labour officially welcomes Obi; unites with Utomi-led National Consultative Front
Nigeria’s Labour Party has officially welcomed former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi and his “teeming supporters nationwide” into its “Grand Coalition of the Progressives and Leaders of Conscience set to rescue and take back Nigeria by 2023.”
A statement by Comrade (Barr) Julius Abure, National Chairman of the Party, which acknowledged the “mass movement” of Obi’s supporters and followers nationwide into the party, also called on all other Nigerians to join the ‘crystalizing rainbow coalition’ that is out to “rescue Nigeria from the heightening insecurity and imminent collapse foisted by incompetent rulers of Nigeria, currently trading in Delegates all over the country.”
Mr. Obi, the 2019 Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was until his recent resignation from the main opposition party a leading presidential aspirant on its platform. He dumped the PDP citing unsavory developments that do not agree with his convictions. Another presidential aspirant of the PDP, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen has also yesterday, May 27, 2022, similarly withdrawn from the PDP’s presidential race citing corruption and obscene monetization of the primaries process.
The Comrade Abure’s statement stressed that the Labour Party was offering the Nigerian people the ‘3rd Force Alternative’ to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP, insisting that “the 2023 election is as good as won by our credible political alternatives to the ruling APC and PDP, especially with the growing backing of the Nigerian people, who are already extremely tired of the mal-administration of APC and PDP Governments at all levels.”
While reaffirming its “unwavering endorsement of the Rescue Agenda of the 3rd Force Movement of Nigeria initiated by Prof Pat Utomi led National Consultative Front, NCFront, which recently adopted our Party of Mass Productivity as the ‘3rd Force’ Mega ‘Rescue’ Platform for Nigeria in the 2023 elections with over 20 million membership of the 3rd Force Movement joining the Labour Party, Comrade (Barr) Julius Abure restated the party’s resolved commitment to executing its “Party Manifesto, as further enunciated by the Labour Charter of Demand/Policy recently initiated by the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC and Trade Union Congress, TUC.”
