The Standard Secretary, Federation of Casual Workers’ Organisations of Nigeria (FIWON), Comrade Gbenga Komolafe, made the allegation on Tuesday in Abuja.
Komolafe also alleged that Obi settled some of the other presidential aspirants who stepped down for him to emerge as the birthday party’s presidential flagbearer.
He described Obi as a mainstream flesh presser whose enhance is basically based utterly mostly largely on ethnoreligious sentiment. Komolafe added that the social media buzz around the light Anambra governor is all noise.
Komolafe said that the LP Presidential candidate modified into no longer loads of from his counterpart within the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu and that of the Peoples Democratic Celebration (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
He said, “Obi paid millions of naira to Labour Celebration management and equally settled other aspirants luxuriate in the Callistus guy who, with some legitimacy, questioned the credibility of the so-known as meantime chair of LP who is the ideally gracious beneficiary of the PO (Peter Obi) Bazar.
“Obi is mainly a mainstream flesh presser. He’s no longer loads of in any serious sense from a Tinubu or Atiku. Nonetheless Nigerians had been trapped in a plutocracy. Politics of the prison rich. Interior that context, most Nigerians are incapable of seeing another candidate besides the very considered, primitive ones.
“The LP affiliation with commerce unions presents barely veneer of distinction from the APC/PDP but unfortunately the gigantic attainable of the LP evolving as an correct workers’ birthday party has been crippled even earlier than the speed started, no longer most fine on memoir of their fawning, unprincipled comprise of an Obi with out building a programmatic mass inaccurate but to boot on memoir of their dedication to simply exploit the contemporary scenario for his or her own person succor.
“Finally, most NLC leaders remain APC. Per chance, within the lengthy speed, the LP will aloof be ready to fulfil its historical future as a birthday party of working people but for now, it has lost its outlandish advantages. Designate this, Obi will maybe lose next year’s election to indubitably one of the dominant parties for some causes.
“The logic of political mobilization remains monetized. Obi is phase of this customized and the labour aristos are most fine exploiting this to carry out money for themselves moderately than plot a mass inaccurate for the LP and maybe strike strategic alliances with other progressive formations luxuriate in AAC (African Movement Congress). Given this truth, APC/PDP will with out complications outspend Obi and the dreamers supporting him.
“The whole social media noise round Obi is largely within the air. On-floor enhance is in step with largely ethno non secular, ‘it is our turn’ emotive sentiments. This can’t shuffle a long way because it could maybe maybe’t demographically dispute the primitive Northern vote casting blocs which continually come tops with this more or less politics.
“Without a conscious radical political mobilization of the working people round a mass circulate that’s demonstrably counter-establishment as we are mindful about it, spurious, ungrounded, monetized, ethno non secular political mobilization crystallizing round Obi accurate now will within the fracture plunge aside. It aloof remains, ‘basically the most fine intention, the laborious intention’ for reliable commerce seekers.”
