Obilor alleged that the process that led to the emergence of candidates was not fair and transparent, saying the leadership of the Labour Party is adopting a deceitful strategy to fleece contestants, just like the former governing party, the PDP did.

“I’m challenging Ekeoma to show me where the primary election took place (Afuguri ward), let him share the video. That is why I am angry, they told us they came for change, and they are doing the same thing the past government did.
