He said the church cannot be Obi’s structure because the church is not the structure of any political party.
“How he is patient enough to build that political party, he must know the national working committee in various states, he must know the candidates of the party, and he must be involved in building the structure of the party.
“The church cannot be his structure. That’s the point I’m saying.”

Peter Obi speaks on Labour Party taking over from PDP

Obi positioned Labour Party as the main opposition party in Nigeria, a role the PDP has occupied since the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015.

In his New Year message, the former governor of Anambra state said his Labour Party will continue to adjust to the new role as the main opposition party in Nigeria.

According to Obi, the Labour Party will be firm in its role as the opposition and keep the ruling APC on its toes in the interest of Nigeria and her citizens.
