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

MARCH 31 2024

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has broken his silence over his absence from the just concluded National Convention of the party held in Nnewi, his native Anambra State. Obi, who interacted with his supporters on X (formally Twitter), explained why he stayed away from the Nnewi convention.

He expressed displeasure that the Comrade Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) ignored his advice to consult more following concerns raised by key stakeholders ahead of the event.

The former Governor of Anambra State, who expressed these views on his verified X Space hosted by Parallel Facts, explained that he was more passionate about building “a new Nigeria” than building a new LP.

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

‘What I told party chaiman’

“When the chairman approached me about the convention, I appealed to him to consult all stakeholders, starting from Governor (Alex) Otti, Vice Presidential Candidate (Yusuf) Datti, to Senators, House of Reps members, gubernatorial candidates, and all other groups, for us to have NLC, TUC.

“It is documented for us to have a properly organised convention, starting with congresses, because we have to organise ourselves at the grassroots, where we have problems. It is after we organise ourselves that we can go into the convention.”

He also revealed that there was supposed to be a stakeholders meeting where positions would have been agreed on to accommodate the various interests that make up the party, but that this was not done.

The 2023 LP presidential candidate said he has so far refrained from making public comments on allegations of financial impropriety against Abure because “we have written a competent, qualified auditor to audit the accounts of the Labour Party and our campaign.”

I officially made it to 30 happy birthday to victor olawale

Good morning, world! 🌅 And more importantly… good morning to ME! It’s Sunday, January 11, 2026… and guess what? I officially made it to 30. Like… right now. Fresh 30. Brand new day. Brand new decade. Still breathing. Still here. Still standing. Thirty feels like the universe just handed me the keys to the “adulting” car… but I’m still figuring out how to drive it without the music being too loud. 😂 This morning, as the sun is just coming up over Lagos, I’m sitting here thinking: Wow… I really survived my 20s. The all-nighters, the heartbreak, the broke moments, the glow-ups, the comebacks, the “what was I thinking?” decisions… and somehow, grace carried me all the way to this quiet, beautiful Sunday morning. To everyone who’s been part of this journey — my family who raised me right (most of the time 😏), my friends who turned into family, the ones who prayed for me, laughed with me, and sometimes had to drag me back to my senses — thank you. You didn’t j...
