The Labour Party (LP) has denied reports that the party leadership is partnering with President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
The reports alleged that the LP has agreed with Tinubu to deliver his second term if he decides to contest.
However, in a statement released on Friday, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Mr. Obiora Ifoh, dismissed the claims as baseless and unfounded.
Ifoh said the party has consistently denied allegations of any partnership or collaboration with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“As a matter of fact, the Labour Party is the most visible opposition party today, and our National Chairman, Barrister Abure, is the leading voice in the opposition camp, consistently criticizing the present government,” Ifoh stated.
Ifoh also highlighted the party’s efforts to reposition itself and deepen participatory democracy in Nigeria. He noted that the party has established an Electoral Reform Committee to promote credible, fair, and transparent electoral processes. Additionally, the party has introduced e-membership registration, which has attracted thousands of subscribers.
“All these efforts to reposition the party, for someone to be demarketing such a party in such an unguarded and callous manner, is most ridiculous and unfortunate.
“We are therefore challenging Deji Adeyanju and any other person to come up with facts and proofs that either the party leadership or Mr. Abure intends to work for President Bola Tinubu or his party, the APC in the 2027,” he stated.
