APC, PDP Internal Crises Worse Than LP’s – ObiPhoto Credit:Punch Newspaper
The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said, on Wednesday, that the party would overcome its internal crisis and get stronger.
According to him, the internal crisis in the LP pales besides the problems the ruling All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party are grappling with.
The LP is grappling with an ongoing attempt by the Nigerian Labour Congress to unseat its National Chairman, Julius Abure, and take it over.
Besides, there is Lamidi Apanpa, a factional leader, who is contending for power with Abure.
Obi, who addressed journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, said the Labour Party would push all the issues behind it and emerge stronger.

The Lagos State government has said it is set to distribute food items to 500,000 households in the state through unions and local governments.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said this on Wednesday while giving an update on the intervention the state embarked on to ameliorate the economic hardship on the people occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the depreciating value of naira.
Speaking at Alausa in Ikeja, Sanwo-Olu said, “When we announced during my last media chat in February, I said we were setting up a lot of verticals where we can help and assist our citizens to be able to access food at a cheaper rate and be able to give succour to our citizens in health, education, food security and all areas where we have social interactions with our citizens. It sounded as if it was just a promise that we were making and would not be able to keep.
