Former Labour Party, LP member who crossed to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Valentine Ozigbo has revealed his plan for Peter Obi.
He stated that he would love to welcome Obi to the APC.
Obi was LP’s presidential flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, a party he joined from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday, Ozigbo claimed he informed all the party stakeholders, including Peter Obi, before dumping the party.
Ozigbo said, “I told him a few things, not about coming to the APC, but I would like to welcome him to the APC someday if he so desires.
“But here’s the point: I engaged with everybody I needed to engage as much as I could remember to say to them, here are the options.
“I had a meeting with Peter Obi. I said to him, ‘I don’t see myself running for this election in the Labour Party, and I want to make a decision soon.’”
“The day I mentioned to him I was leaving the Labour Party, the next day, I moved to the APC because I had to go and visit the Labour Party and say goodbye to them. And I told them to their face, ‘You hear the things that have happened. I am not proud of them. Even when we had a congress in Anambra State, it was a charade—totally flawed.’”
