- Arabambi rules out Obi’s chances for the 2027 ticket.
- Claims internal divisions within the Labour Party will block his candidacy.
- Disagreement over Obi’s leadership creates uncertainty for the party’s future.
Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, has declared that Peter Obi will not secure the party’s ticket for the 2027 presidential election. Arabambi pointed to internal party divisions and a lack of support from key leaders as the primary reasons behind this decision.
As reported by Eko Hot Blog Arabambi’s comments come after Obi’s strong but unsuccessful bid in the 2023 election, where he gained significant support but ultimately fell short of victory. Arabambi emphasized that despite Obi’s popularity among his supporters, the Labour Party leadership is unlikely to back him again due to unresolved internal issues.

Arabambi also suggested that Obi’s leadership style and his ability to unite the party have become points of contention. While Obi remains a strong figure in the eyes of many Nigerians, there are concerns within the party about his ability to lead the Labour Party to success in 2027.
Arabambi’s statement reflects the growing division within the party, where some members feel that Obi’s candidacy could hinder the Labour Party’s chances in the next election.
Obi’s supporters, however, continue to advocate for his second run, believing that he still has the potential to lead the country. Despite this, Arabambi’s remarks indicate that the Labour Party’s direction may shift, and other candidates may emerge as potential challengers for the 2027 ticket.
As the 2027 election approaches, the Labour Party faces a crucial period of decision-making, with internal disagreements likely shaping the outcome of its leadership contest. The question remains whether Obi will continue his bid within the party or seek alternative routes to advance his political ambitions.
