Obidients Urge Otti to Resist Pressure to Abandon LP

Northern Obedients Youth Assembly (NOYA), a support group for Mr Peter Obi during 2023 Presidential Election have urged Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti to resist the pressure from certain individuals and groups in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to leave the Labour Party ahead of next general elections

In a statement , NOYA National Coordinator Hussaini Mukhtar accused the Nigeria Labour Congress National Transition Committee (NLC NTC) of meeting with Governor Otti as part of a new scheme to destabilize the Labour Party in the lead-up to the 2027 elections.

Mukhtar revealed that some unscrupulous members had devised a plan to establish an illegal parallel National Working Committee (NWC) for the party, aiming to destabilize it and incite a crisis.

“We have received reliable information about plans to establish an illegal parallel National Working Committee (NWC) for the party in the coming days. Such an action would be counter-productive and could exacerbate the current crisis within the party. We advise His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, to reflect on the sacrifices made by the Obidients and His Excellency Peter Obi, who provided the platform that enabled his rise to power. He should be cautious of the NTC, as their intentions are not in the best interest of our party", He said.

He also urged the Governor to avoid actions that could further destabilize the party or worsen its existing challenges.

"If he wishes to join the APC, he can do so without undermining Peter Obi’s prospects,” he said.

He also claimed that the NTC's actions were orchestrated by other political parties to weaken the opposition and create an opening for a consensus candidate to win the 2027 presidential election with ease.

While stating that Labour Party is a formidable force capable of challenging the APC in 2027, Muktar also mentioned that the APC plans destabilizing LP just like it already disrupted the PDP.

“It would be deeply regrettable if Governor Otti allowed himself to be used by these parties and the NTC to undermine the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement that provided him with the platform to win the 2023 election.

Mukhtar encouraged LP to be united and strengthen the party's structure nationwide capable of seizing power in 2027.
