LP’s Arabambi Accuses Peter Obi, Joe Ajaero Of Plotting To Overthrow Tinubu
Factional National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi, has accused former presidential candidate Peter Obi and Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President Joe Ajaero of plotting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu.
Arabambi alleged that Obi and Ajaero were planning to forcefully break into the National Assembly and Aso Rock under the guise of a one-million-man rally aimed at making the country ungovernable.
Speaking on News Central TV’s Breakfast Central, Arabambi claimed that the duo were eyeing the presidency but lacked the right approach.
“Peter Obi and Joe Ajaero have been planning everything possible to make Nigeria ungovernable. This is a man who has never spoken well about our country since 2023, and that is unpresidential as far as I’m concerned.
“As a Nigerian, if you don’t see anything good in your country, your aim is to ensure that an administration does not succeed. That is not the function of the opposition. It is for you to put the ruling party on its toes and provide possible solutions, not wish for its downfall,”
Arabambi said.
He further recalled comments made by Victor Umeh, a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who once described Obi as a “rebel” during their political fallout.
Arabambi questioned the motive behind the planned rally, saying, “Peter Obi and Ajaero should explain to Nigerians and the National Security Adviser what exactly they want to do with the one-million-man rally. Are they campaigning for Obi to be president under which party? This is not an election period, so mobilising one million people is simply an attempt to forcibly enter the National Assembly and Aso Rock to overthrow the president.”
He maintained that both Obi and Ajaero had their eyes on the presidency but were unwilling to pursue it through proper electoral means.
