The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is facing a new controversy as a suspected supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abubakar Sidiq Usman, shared documents that allegedly show that Obi’s move from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the Labour Party did not meet the required 30-day period as stipulated by electoral laws.
The controversy comes at a time when Obi and the Labour Party are reportedly taking legal action over the 2023 presidential election, which they claim was fraudulent. The election, which was held on February 25, 2023, declared Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Obi and the Labour Party are seeking to challenge the process by which Tinubu came to power and are reportedly seeking his disqualification over alleged drug crimes he was involved in the USA in the past. The allegations against Tinubu have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians calling for an investigation into the matter.
