From Idu Jude Abuja
The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Obiora Ifoh, has dispelled rumours that the party was working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to retain power in 2027.
Ifoh, in a press statement on Friday, stated that the rumour was the handwork of its adversaries and those who wanted to desperately frustrate the leadership of the Labour Party at all costs.
The LP spokesman further stated that after the landmark court judgment affirming the leadership of Barrister Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party, some persons have tried to push the narrative that the Labour Party under the leadership of Barrister Julius Abure is working for the All Progressives Congress, APC and that is why the Labour Party has been winning all its court cases.
“I must make it clear that this narrative is not only misleading and mischievous but also a calculated attempt to continue to distract, derail, and give the party leadership a bad name to be able to hang it.
“I must state clearly that the Labour Party has been and is still critical of APC more than NLC. We put it on record that the NLC, in all its ramifications, has failed the Nigerian workers.”
