The Labour Party in Nigeria has spoken out against the possibility of Peter Obi being forced to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, stating that it would betray the hopes of millions of Nigerians seeking change. The party's interim National Public Secretary, Tony Akeni, dismissed rumors of Obi stepping down from a political coalition and emphasized that neither Obi nor his Obidi movement would surrender their presidential bid.
