The Presidential flag bearer for the Labor Party in last year’s election, Mr. Peter Obi<\/a>, has clarified that he remains a committed member of the Labor Party.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obi\u2019s clarifications came against the backdrop of the controversy over which political party would claim ownership of the Obedient movement.<\/p>\n

Obi was quoted in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the Labor Party, Obiora Ifo, Thursday, stating that for the avoidance of doubt, \u2018I remain a committed, Loyal Labor Party member.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is my definitive response to all Nigerians who may be in doubt about my party affiliation in the light of recent reports and conflicting interpretations of recent political expressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just been confronted by a Journalist at Abuja airport wanting to know if my statement on the Obedient Movement yesterday is a signal of my leaving the Labour Party. \u201cFor the attention of all those holding such an impression and for the general public, I remain a faithful, committed and loyal member of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed as a Leader of the party, my aspiration, and desire to work closely with other Leaders is to reconcile our valued members, and partner with like minds, and parties all over the country to build a strong and better Party that will catalyze and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy statement yesterday was intended to clarify some issues that are of concern to our teeming supporters some of whom are not members of any political party but are desirous for a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is possible\u201d he stated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Africa Today News, New York reports that political analysts have suggested that Obi might be on his way out of the Labor Party to join a coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
