2027: It will be challenging for the APC - Ugomuoh

Ugomuoh made the declaration during an interview with some selected journalists recently.

As reported by THISDAY, Ogumuoh said even though Obi has not left the Labour Party, he is still one leg in the LP and another leg outside, biding his time to know the best place to finally pitch his political tent; it is within his right to choose whichever party he wants to belong to.

“Those who are saying that Obi has gone from one party to the other, have no case because he has that right. The constitution and politics still allow that movement,” he stated.

Speaking further, Ogumuoh lent his voice to the crisis rocking the Labour Party.

He noted that Peter Obi’s inroad into the party brought it to national limelight such that top hierarchy of the party have refused to accept the new development.
