Invite Arabambi Over Alleged Death Threat By Obi, LP Tells Police, DSS

The Labour Party (LP), has tasked the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), to invite its embattled former national publicity secretary, Mr Abayomi Arabamb, over allegations of threats to his life by the party’s presidential Flag bearer Peter Obi.

Arabambi, who was former personal assistant to LP national chairman, Barr Julius Abure, accused the party’s national youth leader, Kennedy Ahanotu of sending the threat message to him under the directive of Obi

In a statement jointly signed by the party’s national secretary, Alhaji Umar Farouk and the national youth leader, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, the party said ordinarily it would have ignored such unsubstantiated and unfounded accusations.

However, the statement said, “For the benefit of some members of the public especially the Nigerian Youths who do not know the character called Arabambi, a serial blackmailer who will stop at nothing to call out our leader at any given time we see such baseless attempt to defame our principal and that of our National Youth Leader as a last kick of a dying horse.

“Arabambi is well known for peddling lies, propaganda and deceit, reasons why the party expelled him. Arabambi must be reminded that those who fetch ants infested firewood invite lizards to their abode.”

The statement recalled that recently Arabambi referred to noble Nigerians who believed that justice must prevail in the 2023 presidential election, as Obi-idiots.

“Such description of hardworking Nigerian youths is an invitation to self destruct. We have said time without number that the Peter Obi presidency is a Nigerian project.

“We are however challenging Arabambi to make public the said conversation he had with our national youth leader to prove the allegation of threat to life from our leaders.

“We want to restate that neither Obi nor any other person from Labour Party has or will ever contemplate to influence or stimulate any such response to Apapa from Nigerians who already knew that Apapa, Arabambi and their cohorts have been heavily compromised to thwart the proceedings in the Tribunal.

“Peter Obi is known as a peace-loving man who never condones violence. As a governor of Anambra State, it is on record that his tenure witnessed the most peaceful era in that state. He is renowned to be the only governor in Nigeria who moved around without a bullet proof car. He ensured that brigandry, violence or any form of political violence ceased in the state,” the statement added.
