Mr. Peter Obi has blamed President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the ongoing leadership crisis within the Labour Party.
Obi, who was the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, made the allegation on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
The former Anambra State governor specifically claimed that the current government instigated and is perpetuating the internal turmoil in the party.
He said: “This is what you get, always, right? This is what you get always in Nigeria, because we now live in a country of propaganda and lies – and they manufacture it.
“The problem we have in Labor Party is problem instigated and sustained by the government of today.
“I don’t need to tell you when you have a party chairman who calls a state governor a dwarf and dwarf thinking. Forget about me, so it’s not weak.
“Okay, I’m weak, but it’s not weak. Is every other person there weak? So we’re not sincere with ourselves.
“You speak the truth and they call you names. And we now live in a country of propaganda and lies. They are trying to put problems everywhere, they want to even put problems in families.”
