Convener of the Take It Back Movement, Omoyele Sowore, has described the Labour Party 2023 flagbearer, Peter Obi, as a candidate who came to prominence in 2023 due the religious sentiment sparked by the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Sowore made the remarks on Sunday while appearing as a guest on Inside Sources on Channels Television.
He argued that “There was this whole debate around the Muslim-Muslim ticket, so Christians responded by saying, ‘If you want to Islamise Nigeria, we’ll Christianise it too’. And who was the most available Christian candidate? Peter Obi.
“I also said at the time that the Labour Party was a short rental — what they call Airbnb in America. You move in; you check out when your time expires.
“When they are done with Peter Obi, they’ll move the rental to someone else. Maybe Obi doesn’t want to move out now, rightly or wrongly, or maybe he’s staying for show,” Sowore stated.
Sowore, a former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), also criticised the current crop of Labour Party lawmakers, noting that their growing alignment with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Look at all the Labour Party people in the National Assembly — they’re not decamping back to where they came from. They’re decamping to the APC. That’s the point; these guys are not real. They weren’t real in 2023, and they won’t be in 2027,” he asserted.
