The Role of Peter Obi and NLC in My Governorship Campaign Challenges
The Labour Party’s governorship candidate for Ondo, who faced a tough election this year, accused Peter Obi and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) of sabotaging his chances.
Tensions had already been rising within the party, with two rival candidates emerging. Peter Obi, the LP’s 2023 presidential candidate, tried to mediate the conflict, but his efforts fell short, leaving Dr. Ayo Olorunfemi backed by the LP National Working Committee and Chief Olusola Ebiseni supported by the NLC.
This division reportedly undermined the party’s unity and had an adverse impact on the candidate’s campaign.
This situation highlights the complex dynamics of internal party disputes and how they can affect electoral prospects, especially when party leadership is fractured.
