“Politically, we will not allow the crisis to fester for long that we will now allow Mr Peter Obi to join Atiku.
“We knew their plans, that was why we said ‘we need to explore political solution between ourselves.”
After meeting with the former vice president, Peter Obi was rumoured to be nursing a plan to dump the Labour Party for the PDP.
Several political pundits have predicted that the duo could work together to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Arabambi speaks on Labour Party legal tussle
Arabambi further commented on the legal crisis rocking the party. The FCT High Court ordered Abure and two others to refrain from parading themselves as the Labour Party national officer.
In his reaction to the judgment, Arabambi said every action taken by Abure from March 2023 to March 2024 remained null and void.
He said:
“Since the Court of Appeal just set aside the judgement in March 2024, every other thing done between March 2023 and 2024 by Julius Abure is a nullity.”
Peter Obi denies plan to dump LP
Legit.ng earlier reported that Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has reiterated his commitment to the party.
The former governor of Anambra state made the comment while denying the report that he was planning to dump the party for the PDP.
Rumours about Obi dumping the Labour Party for the PDP went viral following his closed-door meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
