A former chieftain of the Labour Party and the Deputy Director General of the Peter Obi campaign organization in the 2023 presidential election, Mr. Oseloka Obaze has stated that his support for Obi remains intact despite his resignation from the Labour Party.
In statement personally signed and made available to PACESETTER by Obaze, he clarified that he remained 100% Obidient, noting that he was yet to join any other political party.
The former Secretary of Anambra State government added that although his “commitment to democracy and true nation-building in Nigeria remains unfettered”, the “ruling APC government has failed Nigeria and Nigerians”.
Obaze’s statement reads:
“Since the news of my resigning from the Labour Party (LP) on 6th April, 2025 became public, I have been inundated with calls of concern and requests for interviews and clarifications. I thank my well wishers.
“My reasons for leaving LP were clearly stated in my letter of resignation. It requires no further adumbration.
“I believe and have publicly said so, but it bears repeating; while the Labour Party has its internal contradictions: the long festering crisis within the party in the main, are externally and politically engineered, thus making any rational, amicable or judicial resolution of the problem impossible.
“That said, I need to speak to several other pertinent issues:
“Presently; I am not a card-carrying member of any political party;
“I remain 100% Obidient;
“I continue to support Peter Obi fully in his pursuit for a New Nigeria that is Possible;
“My commitment to democracy and true nation-building in Nigeria remains unfettered; and
“Finally, I am of the opinion that the ruling APC government has failed Nigeria and Nigerians”.
