The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has reiterated that he does not plan to leave the party.
The former Governor of Anambra State insisted that he will continue to stand for the peaceful resolution of issues in the party.
He made the remarks on Sunday when he donated a borehole to Pantami Sheep Market in Gombe State.
Speaking further, Obi said he is visiting various states of the country to meet the needs of people, especially during the Ramadan fasting by the Muslim faithful.
The Labour Party has been plagued with intra-party squabbles of late, with its National Chairman, Julius Abure, being in the eyes of the storm.
A recent national convention of the party held in Anambra returned Abure as chairman, a development that has been rejected by many party members and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), with the labour union maintaining that Abure must go.

Meanwhile, the NLC also vowed not to give recognition or legitimacy to the Abure leadership of the LP, stating that it will not rest until it unseats him as national chairman.
The Congress also stated that the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, is free to leave the party if he chooses to.
The NLC spokesman, Benson Upah stated this on Sunday during an interview with Punch.
