Arabambi claims LP leaders, including Otti, backing Tinubu’s 2027 re-election

The National Vice Chairman of the Labour Party (South-West), Abayomi Arabambi, has said that key figures within the party, including Abia State Governor Alex Otti, have allegedly agreed to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

 

Arabambi made the claim during an interview on News Central on Thursday, stating that the decision was part of a broader political arrangement tied to power rotation.

 

According to him, the agreement was based on the belief that the South-West should be allowed to complete its eight-year presidential cycle.

 

He also dismissed speculation about Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, returning to the party, insisting that such a move would not be possible.

 

Arabambi further alleged that former Finance Minister Nenadi Usman was attempting to facilitate Obi’s return, a move he said would not succeed.

 

The Labour Party leadership has not issued an official response to the claims.
