Labour Party Leaders Back Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

In a recent interview, Labour Party Vice Chairman Arabambi announced that the party's leadership, along with Governor Alex Otti, has agreed to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid for the 2027 presidential election. Arabambi emphasized that the presidency belongs to the South West and that this agreement aims to facilitate the completion of an eight-year term for the region.

He dismissed any suggestions that Peter Obi could be a contender for the Labour Party's presidential candidacy, asserting that Obi's aspirations are unrealistic. Arabambi further accused Usman of acting in Obi's interest and claimed that Obi's belief in securing a presidential ticket is misguided.

The Labour Party's decision is seen as a significant move in the political landscape, especially given the ongoing internal crises within the party.
