The party also reaffirmed its support for the re-election of Governor Alex Otti in Abia State and endorsed Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour as its governorship candidate in Lagos State.
The National Publicity Secretary of LP, Abayomi Arabambi, made this known while speaking on the party’s plans for the upcoming elections.

He noted that the Labour Party is fully prepared to contest and reclaim power at the ballot box, insisting that the party will only seek victory through legitimate and democratic processes.

He further emphasised that the 2027 elections would be a defining moment for Nigeria, with Peter Obi once again leading the charge for a better Nigeria under the LP.
The party, he said, remains united in its resolve to ensure good governance and a leadership that prioritises the welfare of the masses.
Arabambi assured party faithful that the LP will stand firmly behind Governor Otti and Rhodes-Vivour, as the party aims to consolidate its growing influence across the country ahead of the 2027 polls.
