The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has said he promised to rebuild Nigeria and not to build a new party.

Obi made the remark while disclosing why he ignored the LP’s National convention in Anambra State.

Addressing Nigerians on X Space hosted by Parallel Facts on Friday, Peter Obi said he ignored the convention because the party leadership under Julius Abure failed to conduct wide consultation with key stakeholders of the party before embarking on the said convention.

He stressed the need for the right thing to be done to salvage the party, adding that he is more passionate about building a new Nigeria than building a new Labour Party.

“We promised to build Nigeria, we did not promise to build a New Labour Party,” Obi said.

He also threw his weight behind the call for a structure for the ‘Obidient’ movement.

"It is the standard practice around the world where movements form themselves into blocs and are part of the political process,” he added.

Two factional groups respectively led by Julius Abure and Apapa Lamidi have been claiming supremacy.

Also, the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, is against Abure’s leadership of the party.

However, Abure was reelected during the controversial national convention organized in Anambra State.

You want to build a new Nigeria but you can't even put that small party in order.
Its like trying to build a house without blocks or laborers, how?
Even if you are made president, are you going be everywhere and do everything yourself?



I pity the re.tards taking you serious because you are just going to waste their time and life!

The Brown roofarian moozlems always hear or listen to back of television and they read newspapers upside down.

Typical sophistication generals

What have "brown roofarian moozlems" exactly got to do with Peter Obi saying he didn't promise to build a New Labour Party?

Can't you find a relevant thread to attack them, I am sure they are waiting for your likes.

Someone that can't keep a happy home want to be leader of a community. Is that not call for anarchy.

How?

Peter Obi cannot build a party, he cannot influence structural behaviour, he cannot caution a party chairman accused of fraudulent practice and forging signatures, he cannot question Aisha Yesufu for how she used diaspora funds, he can't even publish his party expenditure.

With the way Peter Obi observed as Julius Abure abused the Labour Party to the ground, I wonder why anyone thinks he has leadership qualities to even manage a complex nation like Nigeria.

You can't build a party or repair one but you claim you want to build Nigeria.

How?

Tinubu and Buhari built APC with their bases. Atiku could not hold PDP together after Jonathan left. This made indiscipl8ne to fester. When Oshiomole overreached himself in the Obaseki saga leading to APC Governors working against APC, the party had to force Oshiomole out. Peter Obi cannot manage LP and even LP elected representatives.

How would he manage Nigeria?

Peter Obi is no leader and if he is ever elected to lead Nigeria, he'd be confused because he'd see that leadership is not as easy as he thinks. Afterall, he had 8 years in Anambra, how come he didn't use Anambra to practice many of his recent messianic postulations of consumption to production?

Peter Obi, if you are reading this, you need to man up. Team up with NLC and TUC, and use your men to seize control of Labour Party from Abure. You can't be a leader and be doing smeh-smeh. See Tinubu who is known to be a nice guy; he fired a minister who worked the hardest in his campaign when she allowed herself to engage in disgraceful corruption. If you can't assert yourself as a leader, you are not ready for Nigeria.

Peter Obi, the litmus test of leadership is at the party level. You are failing miserably at it right now.
