The Labour Party (LP) has said it is yet to fix a date for its next National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, where it will deliberate on the fate of its 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, as well as other party members accused of anti-party activities.

This was disclosed by the party’s Deputy National Chairman, Ayo Olorunfemi, in an interview.

His remarks come days after LP factional spokesman, Abayomi Arabambi, claimed that Obi could soon be expelled for allegedly endorsing the ADC-led coalition while still claiming LP membership.

Appearing on Channels Television, Arabambi stated that Obi’s recent political moves—particularly his support for the ADC—amounted to dual party loyalty, which is unconstitutional.

Despite participating in ADC-backed activities, Obi has maintained that he remains a bonafide member of the Labour Party.

However, Olorunfemi clarified that no punitive action can be taken without a formal NEC session:

“Only the NEC has the authority to decide on disciplinary actions like expulsions. We are due for a NEC meeting in light of recent events, but consultations are still ongoing and no date has been fixed.”

He added that discussions would also cover the roles of LP members such as Governor Alex Otti and other top-ranking officials.
