Obi Threatens to Leave Labour Party Amidst Internal Disputes over Leadership and Policy Direction
- Peter Obi had threatened to leave the Labour Party ahead of 2027 elections if internal crisis continued
- Democratic Socialist Movement says it's opportunistic to call Obi the Labour Party leader
- Secretary says Obi advocates same neo-liberal policies like fuel subsidy removal that Tinubu has implemented
- These policies have led to economic hardship and cost of living crisis for Nigerians
- Group says Labour Party owes improved 2023 performance to Obi's frugality, but that alone doesn't make him party leader
