Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party has emphasized that he is not only a committed member of the Party but remains loyal.

The distancing was on the heels of the creation of the Directorate of Obidients by the Labour Party which has now been scrapped.
But in a statement which clarified his earlier statement, Obi said he remains a committed and loyal member of the LP.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I remain a committed, Loyal Labour Party member’’.
“That is my definitive response to all Nigerians who may be in doubt about my party affiliation in the light of recent reports and conflicting interpretations of recent political expressions.
“I have just been confronted by a Journalist at Abuja airport wanting to know if my statement on Obidient Movement yesterday is a signal of my leaving the Labour Party.
“For the attention of all those holding such an impression and for the general public, I remain a faithful, committed and loyal member of the Labour Party.
“Indeed as a Leader of the party, my aspiration, and desire working closely with other Leaders is to reconcile our valued members, and partner with like minds, and parties all over the country to build a strong and better Party that will catalyze and commence the rebuilding of a new Nigeria.
“My statement yesterday was intended to clarify some issues that are of concern to our teeming supporters some of whom are not members of any political party but are desirous for a new Nigeria. Our goal and aspirations remain that a new Nigeria is POssible.
