The Labour Party (LP) has distanced itself from Abayomi Arabambi, who has been embroiled in a legal dispute with various institutions over Peter Obi's academic records. According to a statement from the party's National Publicity Secretary, Ken Eluma Asogwa, Arabambi did not act as a member of the LP, as he had been suspended from the party in March 2026 for anti-party activities.

The suspension was confirmed by the Party's National Executive Council and ratified by the National Convention of the Labour Party. Since then, Arabambi has severed ties with the Labour Party and cannot claim to represent it. The LP emphasized that Arabambi's actions were unauthorized and amounted to impersonation if he presented himself as a chieftain or representative of the party.

The party's lawyers are currently reviewing the matter to determine the appropriate legal steps, including potentially filing a petition with law enforcement authorities. The statement serves solely to clarify the relationship between Arabambi and the Labour Party, and does not affect the validity of his claims against Peter Obi in court.
