Obi, who ran for presidency under the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has come under pressure from some members of his Obidient support group to quit the party which has been hit by crisis after the elections ahead of the 2027 polls.
Responding to the call for Obi to leave the party on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Olorunfemi said true Obidients won’t suggest such action to Obi.
“Well, I will just use the word delusional, those that are pressing for such, they are delusional. Some people can overreach themselves, the true Obidients out there, they won’t advise Peter Obi to leave the party,” Olorunfemi said.
“You have the true Obidients, the student unions groups, the youths of Nigeria, the hardworking people of Nigeria, are tired of what is going on in Nigeria, people are tired of hunger, which political party will he go to? To go back to PDP, APC or to Where?
“This is a political party that is based on ideology, we are social democrats here. The people that put this political party up are social democrats and that is entrenched in the constitution. So, the only place for Peter Obi to win the election in 2027 is the Labour Party and we are preparing for that.”
