Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has blamed President Bola Tinubu’s government for the lingering crisis in the Labour Party.

According to him, the leadership crisis rocking the Labour Party was instigated and sustained by the government of today.

Obi, who was the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 general election, made the accusation on Monday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

He said: “This is what you get, always, right? This is what you get always in Nigeria, because we now live in a country of propaganda and lies – and they manufacture it.

“The problem we have in Labour Party is problem instigated and sustained by the government of today.

“I don’t need to tell you when you have a party chairman who calls a state governor a dwarf and dwarf thinking. Forget about me, so it’s not weak.

“Okay, I’m weak, but it’s not weak. Is every other person there weak? So we’re not sincere with ourselves.

“You speak the truth and they call you names. And we now live in a country of propaganda and lies. They are trying to put problems everywhere, they want to even put problems in families.”
