Obasanjo backs Obi, begs Wike, Ortom to support Labour Party

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is working with the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate Peter Obi.

This revelation came following a meeting Obasanjo had with some Nigerian politicians in London.

According to activist, Deji Adeyanju, Obasanjo is trying to get some members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to work with Obi.

He made the claim while reacting to the meeting between Obasanjo, Obi, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, and Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.

Others are Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu Abia State, among others met in London.

Reacting to the meeting, Adeyanju said Obasanjo wants power to be shifted to the Southern part of the country.

In a tweet, the activist said the former president wouldn’t stand for the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

He wrote: “OBJ meets Obi & PDP Govs in London.

“Like I said a few days ago, Obj is supporting Obi and trying to get some PDP people to work for him but many of them are scamming Baba.

“OBJ’s position is that power must go back to South and nothing else but he can’t stand Tinubu.”
