The theory that Peter Obi played a major role in the Labour Party’s ascent to prominence has been refuted by Abayomi Arabambi, the party’s factional national publicity secretary. He maintained that Obi’s platform to become politically relevant was actually provided by the Labour Party. Arabambi claims that prior to joining the Labour Party, Obi failed to leave a lasting impression when trying to succeed in big political parties like the APC and PDP.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Arabambi went on to claim that despite Obi’s current involvement in public donations, he did not contribute financially to the Labour Party during his time with the party. He suggested that Obi mismanaged resources intended to help the party defeat the ruling APC, leading to disappointment among many supporters who had hoped for real change in the political landscape.
In an interview with TVC, Arabambi emphasized that Peter Obi’s rise to national attention was primarily due to the Labour Party offering him a platform when other parties had failed to support him. He stated that Obi’s previous affiliations with APGA and PDP did not yield much success, and it was only in the Labour Party that he found a foothold.
Arabambi further alleged that Obi’s financial dealings were problematic, pointing out that Obi’s company in the UK had gone bankrupt, owing over a million naira. He claimed that despite these financial issues, Obi never made any financial contributions to the Labour Party, even though he is now seen making donations to various causes.
The party official strongly refuted any claims that Obi was the reason for the Labour Party’s prominence. He emphasized that Obi did not provide any material support, not even as small as a bicycle, to the party. Instead, Arabambi argued that the resources meant for the Labour Party were mismanaged under Obi’s leadership, contributing to his failure in the elections.
Arabambi maintained that the Labour Party should not be blamed for Obi’s electoral loss. He suggested that the party did its part, but that Obi’s mismanagement of resources and failure to secure victory were factors outside the party’s control.
According to him, He (Peter Obi’s) didn’t contribute any money to the Labor Party. His company in the UK has also gone bankrupt to the tune of just a little over one million naira. All these payments have been verified.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
