Obi's Exit Creates Vacuum in Labour Party, Says Spokesman

Ken Asogwa, spokesman for the Labour Party, stated that Peter Obi's exit has created a substantial vacuum within the party. Obi, who was a former presidential candidate, left the Labour Party to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on December 31, 2025.

Asogwa described Obi as a colossal figure in the party, emphasizing that his departure is a significant loss that cannot be ignored. He mentioned that the party had been aware of rumors regarding Obi's potential departure and had anticipated this event.

Following Obi's exit, the Labour Party is now focused on rebuilding its structure and ranks to address the challenges posed by his departure.
