Labour Party presidential flagbearer in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has revealed that he did not exhibit any sign of desperation to make the leadership of the party believe he craves a ‘free ticket’ or ‘special treatment’ ahead of the 2027 election.
Obi, who spoke through his media aide, Ibrahim Umar, was reacting to a recent interview where the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, denied that the party was planning to field Obi, Abia State Governor Alex Otti and some 2023 candidates in the next poll.
The rebuttal comes a few days after the factional National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, announced that the LP would field the former Anambra State governor to stop President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
However, when asked how Obi was taking the ‘no automatic ticket’ threat by Abure, Umar said his principal did not bother himself with such trivialities.
