Labour party will be on the ballot for all 40 constituency positions in Lagos. - Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin

-



Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin the Kosofe constituency 2 assembly candidate for Labour in Lagos has assured all concerned Lagosians that Labour party will be represented on the ballot in all the 40 constituency positions in Lagos state for the gubernatorial and house of assembly election scheduled for Saturday 11th of March 2023.

The popular grassroot politician made this assertion on Friday in a press release. He added that the information has become imperative based on the unfortunate situation whereby the partys logo was conspicuously missing for some house of representatives and senatorial positions at the last general elections on the 25th of February 2023.

Furthermore, he added that the party does not have any pending issues with inec because it successfully uploaded all the gubernatorial and state house of assembly positions at the close of inec portal in July 2023, even though a huge number of the people uploaded were actually placeholders.

Hon Okufuwa Samad Oluwatoyin went further to explain the omission of his name on inec portal even though it was initially uploaded in a different constituency of ikorodu even though he was the assembly candidate of labour party for Kosofe, a position he noted has now been corrected by the top hierarchy of the party. He specifically mentioned the state chairmans name Mrs Dayo Ekong and that of the deputy gubernatorial candidate Princess Islamiat Oyefusi.

Finally, hon Okufuwa Samad drew the attention of Nigerians that majority of the candidates running for house of assembly elections at this point do not have their names registered on inec portal but added that it won't change the facts that they are the partys candidates as long as they have been cleared by the party, he based his assertion on a court judgment gotten by the party on the 3rd February against the independent electoral commission wherein Justice Ekwo held that INEC was bound to accept the Labour Party’s candidates’ list manually, once its electronic nomination portal became faulty.

The judge, consequently, ordered INEC to open its website for the purpose of allowing Labour Party to submit the list of its candidates or accept same manually with immediate effect

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 ...
