The Labour Party's Lamidi Apapa faction has told Peter Obi, the party's 2023 presidential candidate, to look for another political platform for pursuing his presidential ambitions before the 2027 polls.
The Apapa group claimed it has begun looking for a different presidential candidate before 2027 after the Imo Division of the Court of Appeal recently confirmed the group's legitimacy.
Abayomi Arabambi, the faction's spokesperson, revealed this on Wednesday in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH.
Arambambi spoke against the backdrop of the appeal filed by Obi at the Supreme Court on Tuesday to challenge the verdict of the Presidential Election Petitions Court, which reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
The Apapa-led LP faction had rejected Obi's choice, and the Julius Abure-led LP decision to challenge Tinubu's victory in court.
The Imo State Court of Appeal recognized Apapa as the legitimate National Chairman of the Labour Party on August 14.
on Wednesday Arabambi told punch correspondent that Obi shouldn't waste his time trying to overturn Tinubu's victory at the Supreme Court .
According to him, Obi clearly lost the election due to his alleged mismanagement of human resources.
"My suggestion is for him (Obi) to go and begin getting ready for 2027," Arabambi stated. But it can't happen in the LP; it has to happen in another party. In 2027, we won't stand by and let this sort of mischief continue. As far as we are concerned, we will search for a new candidate.
Obi is free to run for office again in the APGA, but not in Labour Party. We don't want to keep putting up with a character who thinks he is the only one with anything upstairs. He is a poor human resource manager. Because of this, he utterly failed.
