The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has given Peter Obi a 48-hour ultimatum to leave the party.
The party took the decision after its former presidential candidate in the last presidential election joined the ADC coalition.
The development is contained in a statement signed by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in Abuja, on Thursday, and made available to journalists.
The national publicity secretary pointed out that the Labour Party under Abure’s leadership remains vehemently opposed to joining the coalition.
He dismissed members of the coalition as power mongers whose only interest was self and not the people.”
The party observed that the often-mouthed ‘New Nigeria is Possible’ is a ruse and cannot be achieved with the assemblage of old, recycled, desperate, and frustrated politicians in the coalition.
Ifoh added that the LP is aware that all those who mismanaged Nigeria over the years are the ones that gathered themselves in the coalition, stressing that desperate politicians can’t birth a new Nigeria.
