The Labour Party of Nigeria, without Mr. Peter Obi, is already viewed by many Nigerians as politically weak and unlikely to regain its former momentum unless the party’s leadership is completely reformed.
A critical question many Nigerians are asking is this: where was the Labour Party before Peter Obi joined the party? The problem facing the Labour Party, according to widespread public opinion, is that some members of its leadership expected Mr. Peter Obi to distribute money to them. When that did not happen, they allegedly turned against him and began negative campaigns.
Nigerians have come to understand the internal issues within the Labour Party leadership. Many observers believe that the party’s leadership failed to appreciate the rare opportunity Peter Obi brought to the platform. Sadly, their political decline began the moment Mr. Peter Obi left the party.
As Nigeria moves toward 2027, many Nigerians are watching closely to see whether the Labour Party can command the same level of support it once enjoyed when Peter Obi was its presidential candidate. For many, the answer already seems clear.
Political parties thrive on credibility, unity, and vision. The Labour Party’s recent struggles highlight what happens when leadership priorities clash with public expectations. Without meaningful reform and a clear direction, the party risks fading further from national relevance. The 2027 elections will serve as a clear test of whether the Labour Party can survive without the influence and support it once gained through Peter Obi.
