The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi has accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of being responsible for the lingering crisis in the opposition party.
Obi made the accusation on Monday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme monitored in Abuja.
The former governor of Anambra state specifically alleged that the leadership crisis in the LP was instigated and sustained by the present administration.
He said: “This is what you get, always, right? This is what you get always in Nigeria, because we now live in a country of propaganda and lies – and they manufacture it.
“The problem we have in Labor Party is problem instigated and sustained by the government of today.
“I don’t need to tell you when you have a party chairman who calls a state governor a dwarf and dwarf thinking. Forget about me, so it’s not weak.
“Okay, I’m weak, but it’s not weak. Is every other person there weak? So we’re not sincere with ourselves.
“You speak the truth and they call you names. And we now live in a country of propaganda and lies. They are trying to put problems everywhere; they want to even put problems in families.”
It could be recalled that the LP which came third in the 2023 presidential election has been engulfed in an internal crisis with about three factions all claiming legitimacy.
