The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has broken his silence over his absence from the just concluded National Convention of the party, held in Nnewi, his native Anambra State.
Obi, who interacted with his supporters on X (formally Twitter), explained why he stayed away from the Nnewi convention.
He expressed displeasure that the Comrade Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) ignored his advice to consult more following concerns raised by key stakeholders ahead of the event.
The former Governor of Anambra State, who expressed these views on his verified X Space hosted by Parallel Facts, explained that he was more passionate about building “a new Nigeria” than building a new LP.
Obi said, “We promised to build Nigeria; we did not promise to build a New Labour Party.
