The Labour Party National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure has described the 2023 Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi who recently dumped the Party for the coalition of African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a betrayal that can easily go back to his vomit.
In his New Year Speech, Abure recalled in 2022/2023, when Peter Obi joined the Labour Party campaign train, adding that the former Governor described these his new found collaborators as irresponsible, fraudulent, rascals and incompetent.
He said Peter Obi specifically described Atiku Abubakar as too old to be President of Nigeria, but found nothing wrong now to be in a cohort such person, pressing further that Obi’s actions have proved Nigerians wrong that he is actually not the character that can lead Nigeria to navigate to its eldorado.
According to him, “Someone who can, on a stroke when his personal interest is in conflict, betrays everyone who worked with him; someone who cannot manage a micro organisation of a people, cannot be entrusted with the responsibility of managing a country like Nigeria with diverse interest”. 
Abure said Labour Party is on the march of selecting new leaders begins the first quarter of the year, adding that the Party believes that it remains genuinely the only party that is capable of bringing down the poverty levels because of the socio-economic policy, well articulated which the party stands for.
“That is why the Labour Party is calling on Nigerians to shine their eyes and not to expect so much from any form of coalition. The only coalition Nigerians need is the coalition with the poor, the market women, civil servants, farmers, students and other proletariats. That coalition is already existing with the Labour Party”.
He appealed to Nigerians to distance themselves from coalition of failed politicians; men who literally destroyed Nigeria and brought it to its present comatose stage today”. 
Abure added, “Nigeria should not expect so much from the coalition of looters and plunders of the nation’s treasury. It is like having an old wine in a new bottle. These characters who have been present since 1999 are still the protagonists of the coalition.
“We see them as politicians of convenience, not of ideology, not because they love the country or because they love the masses but because they want to continue to remain in power to loot. The year 2026 however will be remarkable in so many ways being the year preceding the election year”.
The Party Chairman said 2026 presents exceeding hope for Nigerians who will, from the first quarter begin the process of recruiting leadership across all strata in line with the dictates of constitution which stipulates that elections must hold every four years.
