The Labour Party has reserved its 2027 presidential ticket for its candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a communiqu\u00e9 issued after the party\u2019s national convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The communiqu\u00e9 was signed by the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, and the party\u2019s National Secretary, Umar Ibrahim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe convention in session, based on the antecedents of the presidential candidate before, during, and after the 2023 general election, recommends that the 2027 presidential ticket of the party be solely reserved for His Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, the national leader of the party,\u201d the communiqu\u00e9 read.<\/p>\n

Obi, who was the party\u2019s presidential candidate in 2023, came third behind President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

The party also recommended that the governorship ticket of the party be reserved for the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti.<\/p>\n

The convention was initially set to be held in Umuahia, Abia State, but was moved to Nnewi, Anambra State.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This is coming after the Nigeria Labour Congress described the convention as illegal.<\/p>\n

The political wing of the NLC also called for Abure\u2019s resignation as party chairman.<\/p>\n

However, on Wednesday, Abure was\u00a0re-elected<\/a>\u00a0as the party\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n

The communique further read, \u201cThe national convention reviewed the state of the nation and concluded that it is not grabbing power that matters but what you do with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the 2023 general election, the security situation of the nation has not improved as there is a geometrical increase in numbers of lives lost and the economy has worsened as the standard and conditions of living of the Nigerian populace has continue to deteriorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cInflation is skyrocketing, unemployment rate is high, this has led to massive hunger and poverty in the land. This is a result of the continuous devaluation of the currency and increase in petroleum product prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The convention called on President Bola Tinubu to quickly take drastic and proactive steps to save the economy from\u00a0total\u00a0collapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
