Peter Obi Remains Our Candidate, Not Sampson Uchenna - Labour Party

 

ABEOKUTA - The Acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi has refuted the widely circulated claim by @PDPVangaurd, that one Barr. Sampson Uchenna is the party's presidential candidate.

The PDPVanguard had through it Twitter handle, declared that the former LP's presidential aspirant, Barr. Sampson Uchenna has emerged as Labour Party's factional presidential candidate through a parallel convention.

The LP's Acting Publicity Secretary, however, enjoined members of the public to disregard the "self-concocted" lies by PDPVanguard.

Arabambi in a press statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday insisted that, former Anambra governor, Mr. Peter Obi remains the incontrovertible presidential candidate of the party, describing the PDPVanguard's post as 'Lies from the pit of Hell'.

He explained that, Barr. Uchenna was an aspirant on the platform of Labour Party who withdrew his nominations to support Mr. Peter Obi voluntarily at the May 30, 2022 convention in Delta State.

He challenged the PDPVanguard to provide details of the Convention that produced Samson Uchenna as the party's presidential candidate as supervised by INEC.

"The attention of Labour Party has been drawn to the criminal activities of PDP vanguard against the Labour party presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi by falsely claimed that our former presidential aspirant by the name SAMSON UCHENNA has emerge as a factional presidential candidate on the platform of Labour Party.

"Labour Party here states categorically that this Samson Uchenna is not in anyway our Party presidential candidate, he is an Aspirant on the platform of Labour Party who withdrew his nominations to support Mr Peter Obi voluntarily. 

"The @PDPVanguard as an agent of the People's Democratic Party, PDP is hereby advised to stay on the path of professionalism and avoid taking sides with faceless people who have no bearing with the legitimate Political actives of the Labour Party (LP) on very weight issues as the transparently free, democratically credible, free and fair Presidential primaries that brought in PETER GREGORY OBI, the former Governor of Anambra state as the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE of the Labour Party (LP) in the 30th May, 2022 primaries that took place in Asaba the Delta state capital in South South Nigeria.

"For the avoidance of doubt, Labour Party (LP) wishes to commend the sportsmanship of Barr Sampson Uchenna Charles who was one of the four (4) Presidential aspirants that voluntarily stepped down there by paving the way for the PETER OBI as the sole Aspirant culminating in his emergence as the Labour Party's sole 2023 presidential candidate.

"Labour Party, in fact hereby formulate the following questions from PDP vanguard for the details of the Convention that produced this Samson Uchenna, the date, venue and was it supervised by the INEC?. 

"We in Labour Party are aware that this is a mere rubbish being pushed by the jinxed opposition with the Knowledge and acknowledged bias for nauseating and baseless internet misinformation. It is highly unethical and despicable.

"We happen to know that the PDP Vanguard who did author the criminal lies is aware and it knows beyond all doubts that it is the same PDP that has destroyed the economy of this country in the past 16years.

"It is quite very understandable that the PDP with the liability of their party candidate as represented should be jittery because of the emergence of the new sheriff in town PETER OBI on the platform of Labour Party with records of good and undisputed records of fine Governance".
