According to the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, will be the party’s nominee in the general elections in 2027.
In an interview with Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” the party’s national publicity secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, said that Tinubu would not have an easy time in the upcoming general elections.
“Tinubu is not just going to have it very easy in 2027, we are coming back with that Peter Obi to them so that they will know we are very serious,” he said.
As the party prepares to overthrow the current regime in 2027, Arabambi also criticized actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo for his choice to leave the party, calling his departure a relief.
The Publicity Secretary accused Okonkwo of working for President Tinubu and the ruling APC, casting doubt on his allegiance to the LP.According to the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, will be the party’s nominee in the general elections in 2027.

“And we wish Kenneth Okonkwo well, his resignation is good riddance to bad rubbish. He should not speak about the Labour Party anymore.
“There is no leadership crisis in the Labour Party. Labour Party is not going into extinction. It is just a figment of the imaginations of most of our detractors,” Arabambi stated.
Recalls that in 2023, Obi was the party’s presidential candidate, but he lost to Bola Tinubu, who was the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) then-candidate.
Following former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the former governor of Anambra State finished third in the polls.
