Peter Obi's Ally Denies Return to Labour Party Amid Leadership Crisis
Dr. Yunusa Tanko, a top ally of Peter Obi, refuted claims of Obi rejoining the Labour Party (LP) after the court upheld Senator Nenadi Usman's leadership. The LP's leadership crisis deepened as the court sacked Julius Abure as the LP national chairman, following a previous Supreme Court ruling recognizing Usman.
Tanko dismissed speculations of Obi returning to LP to pursue his 2027 presidential aspirations. The LP is now under Usman's caretaker committee pending a national convention.
The situation highlights political tensions and power struggles within the LP.
