Callistus Okafor, former Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, has issued a warning about the ongoing crisis within the party, saying it could harm the chances of Peter Obi in the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal. Okafor expressed his concerns about the potential impact of the crisis on the upcoming legal battle to challenge the results of the 2023 presidential election.
Okafor urged Obi and the party leadership to take immediate action to resolve the crisis and prevent it from further escalating. He also criticized Obi for his handling of his own case, saying that he delegated the task of resolving it to incompetent hands while he focused on his campaigns.
According to Okafor, any conflict within the party could undermine its credibility, which could ultimately harm Obi’s legal case. He called for all parties involved to come to the table and engage in peaceful dialogue to find a resolution to the crisis.
“It is disheartening that this kind of thing (leadership crisis) will be happening in the Labour Party that has not seen the kind of light it is seeing today before,” Okafor said.
