Obi moves to reconcile LP factions

In a bid to end the crisis in the Labour Party, its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has initiated a series of meetings to reconcile the warring factions within the party.

This was in a statement he signed on Friday.

The leader of the LP met with the NLC Political Commission, urging unity and harmony among party members.

He also discussed with Abia State Governor Alex Otti.

The statement reads: “As part of my ongoing efforts to encourage reconciliation and unity within our rank as Labour Party, I held a productive meeting with the NLC Political Commission today.

“At the all-important meeting, I reiterated my earlier appeal for us to put aside our differences and work together in a spirit of harmony and mutual understanding. I also emphasized the importance of moving forward with a shared sense of purpose and vision.

“Following the meeting, I also had a fruitful discussion with Governor Alex Otti, updating him on my engaging in constructive dialogue. Our conversation laid the groundwork for future collaboration and progress.

“In the coming days, we will convene a more comprehensive stakeholders’ meeting, bringing together a broader representation of interests and perspectives.

“I am confident that through open communication, empathy, and a willingness to listen, we will successfully resolve our differences and emerge stronger and more united than ever. Our strength lies in greater unity for our common national good.”
