Nenadi Usman Speaks On Peter Obi Returning To Labour Party Over 2027 Election

Nenadi Usman has broken the silence on the possibility of Peter Obi returning to the Labour Party.

Philips News reports that the Interim National Chairperson of the Labour Party, Nenadi Usman, says it will be too late for the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi, to return to the party.

Usman said once they close the register 21 days before primaries, according to the Electoral Act, and submit the e-register, no one comes from the back door for registration.

According to her, “It will be too late for Peter Obi to come back to Labour Party because if you look at the Electoral Act, at some points, we will close the register. You cannot come when that is done.

“Obi actually took the party to greater heights in 2023. There’s nobody who can match that momentum like he did.

“He convinced me to join him in the Labour Party. And not just me but also many people that are in Labour Party today because we believe in equity and fair play,” Usman opined.

Meanwhile, PhilipsNews reports that Peter Obi defected from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he is hoping to emerge as the party’s flagbearer for the 2027 Presidential election in Nigeria.
