A shocking revelation has emerged from the non-indigenous stakeholders’ forum of Aba North Local Government Area, exposing anti-party activities within the Labour Party in Aba North. Some party members, masquerading as loyalists, have been secretly negotiating with other political parties to defect and contest under their umbrella without formally resigning from the Labour Party ¹.
This clandestine maneuvering has raised alarm bells within the party, and the Aba North non-indigenous stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation. They have issued a stern warning, stating that any attempts to backdate resignation letters will be exposed and dealt with accordingly. The stakeholders are determined to explore all legal options to prevent these illegal activities from undermining the party’s unity.
The Labour Party has always been a beacon of democracy and progress, and such anti-party activities will not be tolerated. The party’s constitution, Article 27, empowers the leadership to make rules and guidelines for the conduct of primaries, ensuring a level playing field for all aspirants ¹. It is imperative that party members adhere to these guidelines and uphold the party’s values.
The Aba North non-indigenous stakeholders have reaffirmed their commitment to the Labour Party’s unity and integrity. They will not allow external interference or internal sabotage to compromise the party’s progress. The stakeholders’ resolve is clear: “Labour Party is one, and no form of external interference can break us.”
In this critical moment, the Labour Party must stand strong and united. The Aba North non-indigenous stakeholders’ vigilance and determination serve as a testament to the party’s resilience. Together, they will ensure that the party’s principles and values are upheld, and that those who seek to undermine them are held accountable.
