According to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, the government is to blame for the internal problems inside the party and the PDP.
He made the assertion in a 7-minute, 16-second video that was making the rounds on the party’s WhatsApp network on Saturday while addressing a group of youthful followers.

The former governor of Anambra State responded to a young person who seemed troubled by Obi’s apparent indifference to the LP’s crisis by saying, “What is happening in the Labour Party and the PDP is caused by the government, quote me anywhere.”

Obi also committed to running on the Labour Party’s platform in the 2027 election.

Obi responded, “I will still continue to run in the Labour Party,” when asked which platform he planned to run on in the 2027 elections. My affiliation is with the Labour Party.
In addition, he stated, “There was a problem in our party previously. He was President Yar’Adua. He called Prof. Maurice Iwu, the chairman of INEC, when I approached him, and he informed him that I didn’t want any issues with any parties. We have to make it right.

However, today’s issues are intentional and brought on by the system, and they affect all parties. I want to tidy up a few of these things if I have the chance.

The reason parties will work so successfully is that a system cannot function without significant resistance.

He urged Nigerians to be accountable for making sure their votes count because, despite the fact that political parties may pay agents to represent their interests, voters ultimately have the final say over whether or not the people’s ballots count.

The standard bearer for the LP urged Nigerian youths and voters not to give up since those who stand to gain from the status quo will also oppose any beneficial modifications.

Muktar Shagari, a former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, has refuted claims that Northerners will oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
According to reports, while answering questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, Shagari stated that the North will provide Tinubu with all of the assistance he requires to win the 2027 elections.
According to him, Tinubu has been able to carry out his campaign pledges and plans for Nigerians, and he believes that the President requires a second term.

Shagari maintained that Tinubu is doing well, particularly in security, and that Northerners have nothing against him.

He stated, “We in the APC have complete faith in President Bola Tinubu’s abilities to lead this country efficiently. When he became office, many individuals expressed concern about the country’s economy and the need for extreme measures. The President is doing everything he can to improve our country, and the results show that the country is slowly moving forward, and I believe we will get there.

“So that President Tinubu can implement the initiatives he promised Nigerians, he needs a second term, and we in the APC trust in him and feel he has the competence and capability to do so.

“What we can do is provide him moral and political support while ensuring that no one distracts him by contesting against him. So what the party accomplished yesterday at the North-West and national levels is totally correct and constitutional, and we will provide him with all of the support he requires to win this election.

“And I want to point out that there are many who say, “Oh no, Nigerians, northerners, and so on will not vote for Trump.” We in the north have no animosity toward President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He’s doing quite well in the field of security. I can tell that security is getting better. And he is doing a lot of stuff. So, as far as I’m concerned, and as far as the rest of the APC is concerned, we will support Tinubu, and I am convinced that he will win the election in 2027.

To criticize President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Rome, Babachir Lawal lacked credibility, according to Israel Sunny-Goli, a former member of the House of Representatives.
Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, reportedly called Tinubu’s trip to the Vatican for Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration last Sunday an affront to Nigerian Christians.
According to the former SGF, Nigeria’s mission to the Vatican should have been led by a Christian vice president rather than a Muslim.

He went on to say that Tinubu’s trip to the Vatican confirmed that the Muslim-Muslim ticket was a slight to the Christian community in Nigeria.

Lawal had no moral authority to criticize the President, Sunny-Goli said in a statement on Friday.
Tinubu’s visit to the Vatican, according to the lawmaker who represented the Brass/Nembe constituency in the House, demonstrated religious peace in the nation.

Lawal attacked the President in an attempt to resurrect his waning political significance, he noted.

“Tinubu’s administration continues to prioritize unity, tolerance, and coexistence, reaffirming the imperative of a harmonious Nigeria,” he said in his statement.

Nothing better demonstrates his commitment to religious tolerance than his meeting with Pope Leo XIV during the investiture of the Holy Father at the Vatican.

The fact that Mr. Babachir Lawal has opted to present himself as a moral authority rather than considering his term and previous controversies is disappointing.

His prior termination as SGF as a result of the notorious grass-cutting contract scam is a well-recorded incident that calls into doubt his ability to fairly judge others.

Moreover, his demonstration of religious intolerance in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, illustrates his lack of moral authority to criticize the president’s conduct.

In his constituency in particular, his political impact is still very small. This must explain his desperate search for political significance, which he pursues like a man drowning and clinging to anything that will save him.

“Nigeria must maintain unity and respect for one another at this pivotal moment. President Tinubu is steadfast in his commitment to inclusivity, and his vision of a peaceful and forward-thinking country will not be undermined by any amount of improper criticism.

Nigerians are being urged to join the alliance against the All Progressives Congress (APC) by Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesperson for Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed’s Presidential Campaign Organization.
According to reports, the lawmaker who formerly worked in Nollywood stated that the only way to defeat President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 election would be for the opposition to unite.
According to the former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Tinubu cannot be overthrown in 2027 by either the LP or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) without a cooperation.

The APC is a group of professional criminals out to ruining the country, according to Okonkwo.

In 2023, the opposition made the error of splitting up. For them to win the 2027 presidential election, they must unite. He declared, “The APC is an Association of Professional Criminals.”
On Thursday, following his visit to former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal in Abuja, he made the call on his 𝕏 account.

He revealed that he focused on the coalition move during his conversation with Lawal.

He called on Nigerians to do their part to protect the country from the APC’s mismanagement.

The coalition is still in talks. conversation that was constructive with Babachir Lawal, one of the Coalition’s leaders. All of us have a responsibility to create a great Nigeria. In a place where God has blessed us, we have no excuse to keep suffering. Vote out this misguided All Progressives Congress (APC) to contribute your share to the march towards a great Nigeria. As we help ourselves, may God help us,” he wrote.

Yahaya Bello, Kogi State’s immediate former governor, has denied rumors that he would run against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
It states that in a statement released on Friday, Ohiare Michael, Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, called the campaign poster in circulation “false, misleading, and the work of mischief makers who wanted to bring down the former Governor at all costs.”
Reiterating his unwavering devotion to Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, Yahaya Bello reiterated that he had no aspirations to become president.

He asserts that in spite of the global difficulties, the President has performed remarkably well for Nigeria.

“Our attention has been drawn to another senseless post by mischief makers, who have no job other than to fabricate falsehood and disseminate it to mislead unsuspecting Nigerians,” the message says in part.

“In their “bring him down at all means” mission against His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the immediate former governor of Kogi State, they have made several attempts but have consistently failed miserably.

This is not the first time that critics and fellow travelers have spread outright lies to incite the former governor to oppose our president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, the recent trend of publishing a 2022 surge and implying that it is simply taking place suggests nothing but madness.

Nigerians should be cautious of naive bloggers who fabricate things without thinking in order to appease their equally naive paymasters.

“They neglected the 2022 dates that were prominently displayed on the banners in their last-ditch effort to fabricate a crisis where none exists. However, they expect rational people to not perceive this as the product of irate critics.

We wish to emphasize that our Principal, His Excellency former Governor Yahaya Bello, remains steadfast in his commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, even if we firmly declare that he has no presidential aspirations for that year.

The indexes are not deceiving. Despite international difficulties, the President and his team have performed remarkably well for the nation. He merits the support of well-meaning Nigerians.

“Nigerians should ignore the playful post suggesting a new presidential support rally as it is—a thoughtless post from a dimwitted, bewildered mind.”
