The Labour Party (LP) has said that Abayomi Arabambi, who sued the West African Examinations Council, the National Youth Service Corps and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, over Peter Obi’s academic records, has since ceased to be its member. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ken Asogwa, recently had its say via a press statement in Abuja.
According to Asogwa, the Labour Party ignored the report when it first circulated on social media but decided to respond after it appeared in mainstream newspapers with suggestive captions.
Stressing that the party will not comment on the substance of the case, he added that Obi is equally no longer a member of the Labour Party.
His words, “On Wednesday, 18th March 2026, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party suspended 25 of its members for various infractions bordering on anti-party activities.
That suspension, which was made public and widely reported by several mainstream media organisations across the country, included the said Abayomi Arabambi and a few other former members.
The suspension was subsequently ratified by the National Convention of the Party, the highest decision-making organ of the Labour Party, on 28th April 2026. Following the said ratification, the affected members ceased to be members of the Party.
It is therefore against this background that the Labour Party wishes to inform the general public, and particularly the media, that Abayomi Arabambi is not a member of the Labour Party and could not have instituted any action in court as a member of the party, having long severed ties with the Labour Party.
The matter is currently being reviewed by the Party’s lawyers for the purpose of determining the appropriate legal and other steps that may be taken, including a possible petition to the relevant law enforcement authorities.”
