The media team of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has cleared the air on his visit to party’s secretariat on Tuesday.
There were reports suggesting that Obi was at the secretariat to endorse Julius Abure as the Chairman of the Labour Party.
But a statement signed by spokesman, Dr Yunusa Tanko, said that Obi’s visit was not to endorse anybody.
During the visit, Julius Abure had in his speech stated that Obi came to his office, and Obi in his speech also clarified same, while preaching peace.
“Leadership of NLC/TUC Political Arm Comrades Titus Amba and Chris Uyot, who were informed of Obi travelling out today, hence will honour their invitation, also met with him, and extensively discussed same peace move with them,” the statement added.
“Obi had repeatedly maintained that his interest was to carry everybody along into one strong family, and not to support one against the other.
“In all his meetings with with all stakeholders, he has always maintained peace, and urged not to lose purpose which is to free Nigerians from suffering and pain.
“The LP standards bearer plans to continue meeting with critical stakeholders and groups to achieve all-inclusive political family with a common dream of rescuing Nigeria.”
