Nigerian veteran singer, Daddy Showkey has slammed those trying to cause a division in the Labour Party ahead of the general elections in 2023.

The music star made this known following the emergence of a fractional presidential aspirant weeks after Peter Obi was declared flagbearer of the same party.

"When we talk, people will feel like we don't know what we are saying. I always say that Igbos Igbos...I want you people to be united this time. Look, why is it that anytime you have somebody credible, anything involving you people, they will use you people against yourselves," he said.

"This one don come now, them wan go use an Igbo man to fight an Igbo man. Oh, una get very long way to go. For once you people should use your head."

Showkey's comments came hours after a faction of the party led by Mr Calistus Okafor has held its National Convention to elect Ambassador Jude Ezenwafor as its presidential flagbearer.

However, Obi is the candidate of the INEC-recognised Julius Abure-led faction. At the moment of this report, the post has had over 6432 likes with varying reactions in support of his view.
