Mr Peter Obi has blamed the ongoing conflict within the Labour Party on President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Obi was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.

While answering questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme on Monday, the former governor of Anambra State made the charge.

Obi expressly said that the current administration was responsible for both starting and maintaining the Labour Party’s leadership problems.

“This is what you always get,” he said. Because we currently live in a nation that manufactures lies and propaganda, this is what you always get in Nigeria.

“The problem we have in the Labour Party is a problem instigated and sustained by the government of today.

“I don’t need to tell you when you have a party chairman who calls a state governor a dwarf and dwarf thinking. Forget about me; it’s not weak.

“Okay, I’m weak, but it’s not weak. Is every other person there weak? So we’re not sincere with ourselves.

“You speak the truth, and they call you names. And we now live in a country of propaganda and lies. They are trying to put problems everywhere; they want to even put problems in families.”
