FCT, Abuja – The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has finally revealed his preferred candidate for the Senate Presidency and the House of Representatives. As reported by Guardian, it was gathered that Peter Obi met LP lawmakers-elect in Abuja ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.

Confirming this development, a member of the party who was part of the meeting with Obi said:

First, we met with Datti before now, and he said unequivocally that we can’t vote for Tajudeen Abbas, Akpabio or any other candidates the APC is supporting. He told us that Abbas was endorsed by the APC to suppress him and Benjamin Kalu was endorsed to suppress Alex Otti in Abia state. The meeting ended in stalemate. Chopsticks was the venue.”

The source also revealed that another meeting was held in a separate location, and Obi was also in attendance. He confirmed that Obi urged them to vote for Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, another contender in poll position for the Senate Presidency.

On the party of the speakership seat, Obi urged them to pitch their tent with the Betara ahead of Tuesday, June 13, inauguration.
