Oseloka Obaze, a key ally of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has resigned his membership of the party.
Obaze disclosed this in a letter addressed to LP Chairman in Ochuche Ward 406, Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State on Sunday, May 4, 2025.
Obaze, a former United Nations Diplomat, was the Secretary to the Anambra State Government during Obi’s administration and had worked closely with him as an adviser and chieftain of the Labour Party until his resignation from the LP.
He said his decision was to express his disapproval and protest the conduct of the April 5 governorship primary election of the party in Anambra State.
Obaze stated: “By virtue of this letter, I hereby tender my resignation from the Labour Party (LP).
“The processes, conduct, and outcome of the Labour Party governorship primaries held on April 5, 2025, in Awka, were fraught with outright irregularities, bothering on fraud and criminality.
“It was not in tandem with either the party’s Constitution and espoused core values or true tenets of democracy.
“As such, I hereby disassociate myself henceforth from the Labour Party.”
Obaze, however, did not disclose his next political moves.
Obaze resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2022, one week ahead of Obi, to the Labour Party.
He subsequently became Obi’s campaign manager and one of the prominent brains behind the Obedient Movement.
