Obi’s Troops Launch Assault On Akpabio

The Obidient Movement has slammed Senate President Akpabio for questioning Peter Obi’s ability to lead, accusing the APC of deliberately fueling the ongoing internal crisis in the Labour Party.

The Obidient Movement has condemned Senate President Godswill Akpabio for questioning the leadership abilities of Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate.

Akpabio had previously accused Obi of failing to resolve the internal crisis within the Labour Party while aiming to lead a nation as large as Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Nana Kazaure, the Director of Strategic Communication and Media for the Obidient Movement, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the LP’s internal conflict. Kazaure claimed that the APC was providing state-backed security to Julius Abure, the sacked National Chairman of the Labour Party, thus protecting him despite his illegal tenure.

Kazaure also expressed disbelief that Akpabio, the President of the 10th Senate, has become associated with what has been described as the worst Senate in Nigeria’s history. He said, “It is well known that the President of the 10th Senate is not particularly renowned for the substance or depth of his public utterances. However, we did not anticipate that he would descend to such an embarrassing low.”

For the benefit of Akpabio, Kazaure explained, “The internal issues within the Labour Party were duly taken before the courts by stakeholders of the party, under the leadership of Mr. Peter Obi.” He continued, “The Supreme Court – the highest court in the land – gave a clear and unambiguous ruling, affirming that the individual currently parading himself as the party chairman is doing so illegally.”

Rather than abiding by the court’s decision, Kazaure noted, Abure has been emboldened by support from the APC, which continues to provide him with state security. He described Akpabio’s statements about Obi being overwhelmed by internal party issues as “not only disingenuous but also hypocritical.”

Kazaure further criticized Akpabio’s comments, calling them “deeply ironic and unbecoming.” He added, “It is deeply ironic and unbecoming for Senator Akpabio to publicly highlight a situation his own party has played a key role in manufacturing and sustaining. If anything, his comments serve only to advertise his complicity in the artificial and externally-driven disruptions to the Labour Party.”

Finally, Kazaure stated, “There is, in fact, no crisis within the Labour Party. What persists is the shameless interference of the APC – Senator Akpabio’s party – in facilitating the illegal tenure of Julius Abure, despite the clear ruling of the Supreme Court.”
