By-election: Peter Obi now ‘Uber’ politician -Julius Abure

Labour Party faction leader Julius Abure has labeled Peter Obi as an "Uber politician" in a statement released on Friday. Abure criticized Obi, a presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, for his alleged involvement in multiple political parties and accused him of playing political games.

Abure accused Obi of being desperate to lead Nigeria and criticized his willingness to change positions for personal gain. The statement comes in response to Obi's directive ahead of the August 16 by-elections across the country.

Abure's faction of the Labour Party sees Obi's actions as ironic and paradoxical, highlighting his alleged lack of commitment to a single party or stance. The upcoming by-elections will be held in various states across the country.
