Don't blame our leaders, Nigeria's problems are self inflicted by its citizens - Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin

-


The barrage of political and economic drawbacks that Nigeria has been facing for so many years has been outlined to be self inflicted.

The above description of the current crisis in the country was stated in a press release on Saturday by the Kosofe constituency 2 assembly candidate for Labour party in Lagos, hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin.

The politician who is also a public relations officer for the general alumni of Maryland comprehensive secondary school Ikeja, his mosque at iirawo Owode onirin just to mention a few said that Nigerians should search from within to obtain the answers to untold hardship  in the country.

Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin went further to quote a Yoruba saying that goes thus:  “Amukun eru e wo, oke le nwo…e o wo isale" which if translated means a shout out to a K-legged person carrying a load on his head that the load is bent, he replies back by saying you are focusing at the top alone and neglecting the bottom, including in his statement that a distorted state of affairs can often be traced to an equally distorted foundation on which the affairs are being conducted.

What's more he added that until Nigerians are ready to move out of their comfort zones to vote for politicians with impeccable character and verifiable competence nothing is going to change. 

Finally, he said that the holy books of the bible and Quran are quite explicit about this item, stating that God already made it clear that he wasn't going to change the condition of a people until they change their ways, which invariably means that the leadership of any society is a direct reflection of how the people are, adding that Nigerians should take a retrospective self assessment by first changing themselves and they will be shocked at the outcome, adding that it is the only panacea to resolve the issues.

RE: "I did not promise to build Labour party" Peter Obi is an epitome of dishonesty and a serial betrayal - Arabambi

Our attention has been drawn to a statement that was credited to HE Peter obi, the labour party presidential candidate at the 2023 general elections.   While addressing Nigerians on X space,  Peter obi was quoted as saying that "we promised to build Nigeria, we did not promise to build a New Labour Party". We find that statement to be shocking, appalling, awful, disgraceful, horrible and extremely shameful.  However we must state that we are not surprised at his comment especially as he had always exhibited acts of betrayal, disloyalty, treachery and outright breach of trust. Consequently, the labour party Nigeria will like to tender an unreserved apology to all Nigerians and especially all members of labour party for our indescretion, miscalculation, mistake and error of allowing a serial betrayal, insincere and dishonest individual to desecrate our well respected and Honourable platform to take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting populace. Accordingly, despite t...

LETTER OF LABOUR PARTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO INEC........ THIS IS WHY INEC STOPPED RECOGNISING ABURE AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF LABOUR PARTY The Nigeria Labour Congress has written the Independent National Electoral Commission, urging it to halt any support for the national convention of the Labour Party scheduled for March 27, 2024. In a Friday letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, the NLC accused the Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, and his associates of planning an illegal convention in defiance of court orders. The NLC’s solicitors, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, in the letter dated March 22, 2024, highlighted the illegality of such a gathering, citing previous court rulings that declared the Labour Party’s status and ordered inclusive conventions. The NLC, in the letter signed by Marshal Abubakar, threatened legal action if INEC failed to comply with the demand to prevent what they deemed a breach of justice and the rule of law. The congress’ lette...

Ignore all machinations, Sola Ebiseni remains the Governorship candidate of Labour Party. Once again, the Labour Party Campaign Organisation is inundated with calls on the purported replacement of Chief Sola Ebiseni, our Governorship candidate, with Ayo Olorunfemi less than 24 hours to the Ondo State Governorship election tomorrow. Contrary to the false report, the candidacy of Ebiseni was the decision of the Party presided over by the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure of which Ayo Olorunfemi is a member after the latter, who was a placeholder, voluntarily withdrew his candidacy backed with sworn affidavit, an undisputed fact confirmed by the Courts. For the umpteenth time and avoidance of doubt, Ayo Olorunfemi was not a party to any of the cases either at the High Court or the Court of Appeal and his Appeal as an Interested party was dismissed. There is no subsisting order of any court directing the INEC to remove or replace the name of Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni and ...
