A former presidential aspirant and a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, has accused the party’s 2023 presidential candidate of being responsible for the crisis rocking the party.

Joseph, in a statement yesterday, said since the 2023 election, Obi, who served as governor of Anambra State, had distanced himself from the Julius Abure-led istration, instead of ing forces with him to fix the leadership crisis.

He referenced the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), which he said Obi did not build but abandoned after enjoying the fortune of the party.

He said: “My attention has been drawn to numerous comments and videos where Mr. Peter Obi continues to blame everyone but himself for the deepening crisis in the Labour Party. From blaming the current president to party leadership and even external forces, Obi seems to be pointing fingers everywhere except at the man in the mirror.

“This is both disappointing and disingenuous. It is laughable that a man who prides himself on competence, capacity, and production — the core vision of the Labour Party — is today a symbol of division, confusion, and underperformance.

“I recently watched a video where he accused the president of being responsible for the party’s woes. In another, he blamed the party leadership. The blame game is endless.

“Let us call a spade what it is: the only person to be held responsible for the Labour Party’s downward spiral is Mr. Peter Obi himself.

“When Obi ed the party in 2022, Labour Party was united. The house was in order. But since his arrival, crisis has rocked the party from top to bottom. The centre could no longer hold.

“This division contributed heavily to our loss in the 2023 general election. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

“How can a man who claims he wants to govern a complex nation like Nigeria not even manage a small political party?

“To all Obi ers, I ask you to think critically: If Peter Obi cannot resolve party-level crises, how will he manage inter-state conflicts, economic restructuring, security turmoil, and national reconciliation?

“Let us not forget, Obi did not build APGA — the platform that gave him his first opportunity. He deserted it when he should have grown it into a national party, like Nnamdi Azikiwe did with NCNC or Awolowo with UPN. Compare that to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who turned a regional party into a national powerhouse that now governs Nigeria.

“Instead of strengthening APGA, Obi ran to PDP for another political meal, then moved again to Labour Party for a third helping — always looking for the easiest path, not the one requiring true leadership and sacrifice.

“After the 2023 elections, instead of returning to rebuild Labour Party and unify aggrieved , he further distanced himself from Barr. Julius Abure — the very man he used during the campaign. Now that the party is in ruins, he blames Abure for the dirt, forgetting he was the one who walked into a clean house and messed it up.

“Let me be clear: I am no fan of Julius Abure, but the shady deals now under scrutiny were made for Obi’s political ambition. Leadership requires loyalty, responsibility, and the will to lead — especially in difficult times.”

According to him, “Mr. Obi is not qualified to be a coalition candidate for 2027. That position must be earned through proven leadership, party unity, and capacity — not mere popularity or public sympathy.

“In 2022, Labour Party was dead asleep. I, Fadojoe, with the Rescue Movement, helped wake it up and gave Nigerians an option. The people were already disillusioned with APC and PDP. Obi benefitted from this public frustration — not because he was a political messiah, but because he was a lesser-known alternative.

“Now, the reality has dawned on many. People are beginning to see beyond the media image. They ask — what does Peter Obi actually stand for?

“Would Tinubu blame Labour Party for APC’s problems? Would PDP shift blame to the ruling party for its internal fights? No. So why should Obi not own up after two years in LP?

“If you cannot lead, step aside. Let those of us who have the vision, the capacity, and the courage to build a united and purpose-driven Labour Party take over. Reorganising this party is not rocket science. Fixing Nigeria starts from fixing ourselves, our political parties, and our communities.

“In 2027, Nigerians must choose a leader not based on sentiments or moral branding, but on vision, capacity, and competence.”

Volume, tell him to stop the blaming game.

His right hand man, Okwonkwo has also come out to knock Peter Obi. Everybody cannot be wrong while you're the only one who is right. His biggest regrets will be the headless mob on the internet misleading him, they are the ones he feared most, Lol.

That thread of Peter obi knocking Okonkwo has been created almost 8 hours ago. The mods gave refused to move it to FP. Whereas funny threads like Peter obi only offers handshake to portable was moved to fp. Another joke of a thread like Peter obi storms London was also moved to fp.

One of the reasons twitter is like riding in a Lamborghini while nairaland is like riding in a Volkswagen beetle.

Obidients have been scratching their heads with several attacks on their principal which Peter Obi caused by himself.

Before 2027, Peter Obi would have lost the little relevancy he's currently having

Obi is now a political mantra that must be recited by this brainless APC thieves.

Peter Obi has our votes come 2027. No amount of slander can change that

What is even Labour party ??who made them popular in the first place Greedy politicians working for Tinubu….why you will not have the guts to act as an opposition party member iseless representatives of people

Don't say that again,





How can you say that ...... Obi is the Messiah to the headless mob and he can never do wrong

It just has to be a Yoruba 🤦‍♂️
Always them

Obi is a dumb guy that lacks any serious debt… a man that kept money in the for what exactly while doctors were on strike, hunger increasing in his state and so on.

I for one never took him seriously cos I know how the ibos brutalized him in 2013 here on NL

Nobody fit gaslight me… cos no b today. WTF😌

Don't blame him much.. it's in their nature and DNA to always shift blames to others.
To the intellectuals, it's crystal clear that Obi lacks leadership qualities, can't unite or manage people from the way he messed up Labour Party. Only tribalists from his side feel otherwise.

Ironfaceman:

You did not even bother to read the article. The person that's currently attacking Peter Obi is an Obidient..

It's glaring that Peter Obi is casted

If they could kpai this man, they'd have done it long time ago.
Nigerians no deserve you Obi.
They deserve whatever hardship they're in x1000%
Very intentional people

You are coming back to kneel and beg Peter Obi soon ….we know your type that your stomach is all you work for and not for the people ….what is your contribution to the Labour party than asking for part of National cake the way A commissioner from Akwa Ibom said on national tv and some fools will still bay types of immoral people …Shameless sets of people

Like your comments, but am voting BAT come 2027

Chronicle of a desperate man who wants to bcome the President by all means
Dem don open him book 2day

Obi the Rock. Everyone aims at Obi. Something great is in that man. Sorry to say, without Obi, where labour for dey? Y'all riding on Obi's popularity and leaving out Tinubu who's in power

Stale! 😂

Obi go talk nonsense everywhere, go dey do oversabi every time, and when people with brains (outside his Obidient sheep) reply Una go dey cap nonsense about how everybody is after him.

He's the only former presidential candidate in history that held his own parallel Press Conference on Democracy Day to announce to his ers that Democracy has died. 😆

But when people reply him kindly una go dey shout "everybody is attacking Obi" lol

Make Una go sit down for gutter jor!

It is unfortunate that some people took it upon themselves to celebrate mediocrity. Obi doesn't have the capacity to lead a complex country like Nigeria. If Obi had managed Anambra state well when he was governor, most of us wouldn't need mobs like obedient movement to push him forward. Obi is bereft what it takes to govern Nigeria. Maybe he can go back to Anambra to begin to campaign for senate seat instead of wasting his time on dreaming to rule Nigeria

This one is a cheap paid agent sponsored by APC the most corrupt party in the world.

Obi is the most popular Nigerian politician.
Man is on the news every minute

I give it to him. He is an Enigma

This guy is one of the moles in LP. I've said this to obidient movements times without number but they're saying we should leave him. Him and Apapa are paid agents. Now, he's exposed himself. Dayo too warned the LP executives that this man's activities were suspicious but they said, in the spirit of brotherhood, we should leave him. He's one of those working behind the scenes to tarnish obi's image and disrupt, LP.

When Doyin Okupe started his own before removing him, I had predicted what would happen next. Later after being removed, he was calking Obi all manner of names, someone who didn't have issues with anyone. I hope the coalition would shine their eyes. Any suspicious moves by any member should be met by expulsion right away.

Story story upon stories. Anybody that wants to hear the truth of this Labor Party, Abure and Peter Obi matter should go and watch what Kenneth Okonkwo said in that explosive interview he recently granted.


After watching that explosive interview by Kenneth Okonkwo, what every sensible Nigerian that listened or watched Kenneth Okonkwo's interview would pick out is that:


Peter Obi is a man that obeys and respect the law and constitutional authorities. He doesn't want to go against any law or constitutional authority. But Kenneth Okonkwo is the revolution type of politicians that usually lead national revolution whereas Obi believes in rule of law and following things through the ambient of the law, and he is not desperate to become President of Nigeria, and unfortunately, Nigeria under Bola Tinubu is lawless.



So I can see where their differences comes in, but in all, Nigerians should go on their kneels and pray God give them a Peter Obi to savage this nation from the current APC Bandits in power now if not, hmmm



Some groups in Labor Party want Peter Obi to fully Julius Abure even when it is clear that he has overstayed his tenure as LP Party Chairman. Another group want Peter Obi to stop ing Abure led committee but throw his for the caretaker committee of Nenadi Usman even when INEC refused to do what is right.


Obi decided to keep his hands akimbo watching them before he s one and INEC that is being controlled by Tinubu hurries and formalize the other and they turn around to blame Obi for being lawless and ing the LP Chairman INEC and Nigeria's constitution didn't .


Obi is smarter than you all.


Tinubu is responsible for all the crises rocking all the opposition parties, that's Tinubu's type of politics, who doesn't know that? He did it in Lagos for 23 years and now trying to force it on Nigerians and people are here making noise and blaming Peter Obi that know better than them, make Una continue to de make noise.
