Chairperson of the Labour Party in Lagos State, Dayo Ekong, has stated that the political influence of the party’s presidential flag bearer in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has been dwindling, urging him to pause and reflect.
Ekong said this in a statement through her official X handle on Tuesday, stating that Obi’s rising profile in 2023 was not about his personality but a combo of party structures, grassroots mobilisation and public desire for change.
She added that “grace” which moved Obi then is now fading because of his divisive choices and inconsistent political moves.
“In 2023, Nigerians rallied behind him because he represented a fresh alternative.
“But today, his actions are beginning to erode the foundation of that support,” wrote Ekong .
