The faction claimed that he aimed to ensure that people from his tribe dominated the party and that his wife be installed as the women leader of the party.
The statement reads in part:
"Peter Obi’s mission was to amputate the Labour party structure so that he and his gang of ethnic bigots would take over the party and fix his wife as the new national women leader of the party to continue his trade."
Obi was not correctly nominated as the Labour Party flagbearer
Apapa's faction of the Labour Party also alleged that Peter Obi's nomination as the party's presidential candidate did not follow due process.
The faction said his improper nomination was pointed out to him, but Obi launched a mission to ensure that all those perceived to be against him were removed from the party.
Obi disobeyed a court order
The Labour Party's faction further claimed that the presidential flagbearer disobeyed an order of the Federal High Court in Abuja by identifying with the sacked national leader, Julius Abure.
The faction then resolved that the former governor of Anambra state did not qualify to be Nigeria's president following his action.
