Reno Omokri, a former media aide to ex-president Goodluck
Jonathan has asserted that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Mr.
Peter Obi took the party “from zero to hero”.
He stated this while reacting to the internal crisis rocking
the Labour Party over a leadership tussle.
Taking to his Twitter page on Wednesday, Omokri said the
factional leaders have to recognise Obi’s sacrifice that transformed the party
in less than a year.
He said the former Anambra State Governor’s sacrifice was
enough for the LP factional leaders to overlook his lapses.
He wrote, “Labour Party is very unwise to have this
infighting. No matter the issue the Apapa-led faction has, they ought to
recognize that Peter Obi took Labour from zero to hero in less than a year. If
someone can achieve that for you, you can as well forgive his lapses!”
Labour Party gained nationwide support after Peter Obi
emerged as its presidential candidate shortly after joining the party from the
main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Since the controversial February 25th presidential election
which saw the LP flag bearer, Obi finish third behind Atiku Abubakar of the
PDP, and Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, the party has
been plunged into internal crisis.
