Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi has asserted that he left the Labour Party due to the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) insistence. During an interview on Arise TV, Obi claimed that INEC had explicitly stated that his faction of the Labour Party would not be recognized if he remained in the party. He added that INEC confirmed this stance a week after his departure.
Furthermore, Obi blamed the government for deliberately destabilizing opposition political parties, including the Labour Party, as part of a strategy to weaken the opposition. He alleged that the president finds problems in other parties enjoyable, as they appeared to celebrate the unrest. Obi asserted that all these events are orchestrated by the government to destabilize every opposition party.
