The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has given Peter Obi a 48-hour ultimatum to leave the party after he joined the coalition.

This was contained in a statement signed by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in Abuja, today.

Ifoh explained that the Labour Party under Abure’s leadership remains vehemently opposed to joining the coalition, while dismissing members of the coalition as “power mongers whose only interest was self and not the people.”

The party warned Nigerians that the often-mouthed ‘New Nigeria is Possible’ is a ruse and cannot be achieved with the assemblage of old, recycled, desperate, and frustrated politicians in the coalition.

Ifoh said the party is aware that all those who mismanaged Nigeria over the years are the ones that gathered themselves in the coalition, while noting that desperate politicians can’t birth a new Nigeria.
