Sh*ck Exit! Peter Obi’s Top Ally Dumps Labour Party in Stunning Move

Oseloka Obaze, a prominent ally of Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, has officially resigned his membership from the party.

Obaze made the announcement in a resignation letter addressed to the chairman of the Labour Party in Ochuche Ward 406, Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra State, on Sunday.

A former United Nations diplomat and one-time Secretary to the Anambra State Government under Peter Obi, Obaze had been a close adviser and influential figure within the LP until his departure.

Citing unresolved leadership disputes at the national level—particularly the ongoing conflict between the Julius Abure and Senator Nenadi Usman factions—Obaze expressed deep dissatisfaction with the party’s internal crisis.

He also strongly condemned the party’s April 5, 2025 governorship primary in Anambra, describing it as riddled with irregularities and a betrayal of the party’s constitution and democratic principles.

“In protest against the flawed conduct and fraudulent nature of the primaries, I hereby resign from the Labour Party,” Obaze stated. “The process lacked integrity and violated the values the party claims to uphold.”

It’s worth noting that Obaze had earlier left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2022, shortly before Peter Obi’s defection to the LP. He later served as Obi’s campaign manager and played a key role in shaping the Obidient Movement.
