The Labour Party in Nigeria has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar to support the new direction represented by Peter Obi. The appeal was made by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Tony Akeni, during an interview on Arise Television on Friday.
Akeni said the party is urging Jonathan to consider the wishes of the majority of Nigerians, who are seeking a presidency led by a younger person with a record of integrity, character and consistency. He emphasized that most Nigerians have embraced the idea of a younger president who resonates with them and stressed that it is imperative for Atiku Abubakar and Goodluck Jonathan to accept that it is time for a change in direction.
The Labour Party’s appeal comes as Nigeria’s political landscape continues to evolve, with various candidates and parties vying for positions of power. The call for Jonathan and Abubakar to back Peter Obi reflects a growing demand for new leadership and a shift away from traditional politics. Nigeria’s complex political history has seen many parties and individuals shape the country’s future, and this appeal is seen as an attempt to unite Nigerians behind a common goal: ushering in a new era of leadership that aligns with the aspirations of the majority.
As the political scene unfolds, it remains to be seen how Jonathan and Abubakar will respond to the Labour Party’s invitation. The call for a new direction has sparked interest and debate among Nigerians, with many watching closely to see how events develop in the coming days and weeks. The outcome of this development will likely have significant implications for Nigeria’s political future.
