The Labour Party, LP, has said the meeting between its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his counterpart from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki and Sule Lamido, was to rescue Nigerians from their current suffering.
LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said there would be more of such meetings aimed at brainstorming over the sufferings of Nigerians.
On Monday, Obi met with Atiku and the PDP chieftains in Abuja.
However, Ifoh said the party was in support of the meeting, adding that the meeting was that of like-minded individuals.
The LP spokesman also disclosed that additional meetings had been scheduled to occur ahead of the 2027 general election.
A statement by Ifoh said: “Yes, it was a meeting of like-minded individuals who believe there is a need for better leadership in our nation. They are people who see that Nigerians are suffering, not receiving what they bargained for, and observe corruption persisting in high places while Nigeria’s resources are mismanaged.
“They believe it’s the right time to unite and take action to address the challenges facing Nigeria today. Despite the government being barely a year old, Nigeria is facing difficult times under the APC administration, which seems directionless.
“This meeting is just the beginning; there will be further interactions and gatherings with other individuals. Together, they will brainstorm on how to rescue the nation. The party is fully aware of the meeting and is committed to working hard to achieve something significant for our country.”
