Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has blamed President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the ongoing leadership crisis plaguing the party.
Obi was the erstwhile presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023 general election.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, the former Anambra State governor alleged that the internal turmoil within the Labour Party was not organic, but rather instigated and maintained by the current federal government.

Obi specifically stated that the leadership crisis in the Labor Party was instigated and sustained by the government of today.
“This is what you always get in Nigeria – a country now run on propaganda and lies, The problem we have in the Labour Party is a problem instigated and sustained by the government of today,”
“You speak the truth and they call you names,”
“They are trying to create problems everywhere.” Obi said.
Obi expressed concern over what he described as a growing culture of dishonesty and manipulation within Nigerian politics, suggesting that efforts were being made to sow division not only within political parties but also among citizens and even families.
Citing an example, he criticised a recent incident involving the party chairman making disparaging remarks about a sitting state governor, questioning the sincerity of such leadership.
