| Mr. Peter Obi |
The Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) seeks to clear up confusion surrounding why Peter Obi, the Labour Party leader and 2023 presidential candidate, is backing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate in the upcoming Anambra State Assembly Bye Election scheduled for Saturday.
This explanation, it explains in a press release, is important due to the recent misunderstanding in public discussions about Obi’s choice, which seems to conflict with his position as the Labour Party’s flagbearer.
POMR, it states wishes to set the record straight and provide insight into the strategic reasons behind Obi’s support for the ADC candidate in this particular election.
The press release reads: “Firstly the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has not been able to sort out Labour Party issues in this election.
As at the time of issuing this statement, LP has no candidate in Saturday's bye election slated all over the country.
And secondly, the ADC candidate is the wife of the late Labour Party state Assembly member Hon. Justice Azuka, who died in the hands of kidnappers in February this year.
The leadership of both ADC and LP, as well as the Labour Party Senator and House of Representatives member Tony Nwoye and Idu Emeka, respectively, and the house of Assembly Members in Onitsha south on compassionate grounds, deemed it fit that the capable wife should go ahead to complete the tenure of her husband.
Where issues of candidates are not in dispute, Obi always supports Labour Party flag bearers, as in the November gubernatorial poll, where our Principal's candidate is indisputably Chief George Moghalu of the Labour Party.
A press release signed by Ibrahim Umar, spokesperson of the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), states that the clarification lays to rest the confusion in the minds of the public, as the situation has not in any way changed Obi's leadership of the Labour Party and his membership of the Coalition.
“We therefore need to underscore the fact that Obi's mission for a new Nigeria is course and Possible,” the release issued August 13, 2025, concludes
