“Large amounts allocated for propaganda campaign against Peter Obi come 2027” – Labour Party speaks out
The Labour Party has claimed that significant amounts of money have been designated to conduct a propaganda campaign against Peter Obi in preparation for the 2027 general election.
According to the party’s national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the party’s success in the recent elections surprised many, leading to plans being made against Peter Obi.
The party stated that continuous criticism of its National Chairman, Julius Abure, will not cause their Presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, to exit the party. They advised individuals spreading misinformation about Abure on social media to desist and pursue legal action instead.
The party also mentioned that despite continuous negative campaigns against Abure, there is no demand for its national leader, Peter Obi, to step down before the 2027 elections.
Ifoh said, “Mr. Obi has restated his willingness to remain in the party knowing that all the attacks at Abure were sponsored and orchestrated by some political opponents in the high places.
“It astonishes us how far our detractors can go in ensuring that the party swims from one ocean of crisis to another in their evil desire to create disharmony between the party and our leaders.
“We are aware that Abure is not the target of these ferocious and malicious missiles. We are also aware that huge sums of money has been mapped out to wage a propaganda war against our leader ahead of the 2027 general election.
“The feat of the Labour Party in the last general election rattled not a few persons and the fear of the future has driven them to begin so early to prepare ahead. Part of the strategy is to make any political platform unviable for Obi to sail with.
“The party is also aware that any Political Party Peter Obi finds himself in as a vehicle for the 2027 presidential election, including the Labour Party, will not be spared by the political hirelings who are already recruited to dismember such a party.
“Let me emphasis here that even Peter Obi has severally pledged loyalty to the Labour Party due to its social democratic ideology which suits his political vision. Peter Obi will not anymore fellowship with any bourgeoisie party. He is a liberator and not a ruler as seen in the other parties.”
In response to accusations of corrupt enrichment against Abure, the party’s spokesperson refuted the claims as false and highlighted that the party’s external auditor had exonerated the party of any misconduct since 2021.
In 2017, a forensic audit implicated the suspended Treasurer for fraud, contrasting Abure’s stance on accountability, as highlighted.
Abure’s living situation and property ownership were firmly defended, with a call for accusers to support their allegations in court, given that the case is currently being legally examined.
In addition, the spokesperson stated that all funds were authorized before leaving the Labour Party’s accounts, denying allegations of Abure being solely responsible for mismanaging funds.
