Abure Predicts Decline for Obi in 2027 Elections
Julius Abure, the former National Chairman of the Labour Party, has stated that Peter Obi, the Nigerian Democratic Congress presidential candidate, will likely perform below his 2023 election results in the upcoming 2027 elections. In an interview with Punch, Abure criticized Obi for squandering his goodwill, human capital, and resources, which he believes contributed to Obi's strong performance in the 2023 presidential election.
Abure noted that Obi's departure from the Labour Party has cost him the organizational structure and campaign machinery that helped him secure over six million votes in 2023. He expressed his unwillingness to support Obi in the 2027 election, indicating a readiness to align with other major candidates based on the outcome of a pending Supreme Court case regarding the Labour Party's leadership.
Abure also accused Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti of undermining the party's structure, stating that their actions were detrimental to the party.
