Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), had declared that Peter Obi would not be permitted to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This claim was made by Arabambi during a Friday interview that Newsmen saw on Channels Television.
He claims that the party is looking for a political solution to its internal problems in order to prevent its presidential candidate for 2023 from collaborating with Atiku Abubakar of the PDP before the 2027 election.
“Politically, we will not allow the crisis to fester for long that we will now allow Mr Peter Obi to join Atiku.

“We knew their plans, that was why we said ‘we need to explore political solution between ourselves,” he said.
The leader of the factional Labour Party also discussed the recent legal battle that the party is facing, in which an FCT High Court banned Julius Abure and two other individuals from representing the party as national officers.
Remember how Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court had barred Abure, Farouk Ibrahim, Clement Ojukwu, and Oluchi Opara from serving as LP national executives in his verdict on an ex parte application on April 5, 2023.
However, the ruling of the lower court prohibiting Julius Abure and two other individuals from presenting themselves as national officers of the Labour Party was overturned by the Court of Appeal in Abuja in March 2024.
Leading a panel of three justices, Justice Hamman Barka declared that Abure’s appeal had merit and was thus granted. According to him, the FCT High Court erred in assuming jurisdiction over the case.

In addition, the court granted Abure and the other appellants in the case a sum of N1 million.
Arabambi responded to the ruling by declaring that all of Abure’s actions between March 2023 and March 2024 were void.
“Since the Court of Appeal just set aside the judgement in March 2024, every other thing done between March 2023 and to 2024 by Julius Abure is a nullity,” he added.
