Recounting events following Obi’s defection, Abure revealed that Baba-Ahmed called to reaffirm his commitment to the party, stressing that LP remains the platform that secured millions of votes in 2023.

Abure assured supporters that the Labour Party remains united and focused on providing Nigerians with a genuine alternative. Baba-Ahmed reinforced this view, stating his decision to remain in the party is principle-driven and that the LP represents the authentic choice for Nigerians seeking meaningful change. While he declined to confirm any presidential ambitions for 2027, he indicated that his decision would be made at the appropriate time.

The rally concluded with party leaders expressing confidence that the Labour Party will maintain its relevance and competitiveness as the nation approaches the 2027 general elections.
