Labour Party: Those That Endorsedjonathan Are Impostors by Rilwayne001: 10:49am On Mar 16, 2015 |
Following the meeting by the National Executive Council held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, where some members of the Labour Party (LP) purportedly endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in this month’s election, the leadership of the party in Abuja on Sunday said it had not endorsed any candidate. The Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the party, Salisu Nuhu Mohammed, said the endorsement of President Jonathan was done by those he described as ‘impostors’ and not the real party members. His words: “We have on many occasions stated this and I need to re-emphasise this even at the pains of being accused of repetition that Labour Party is not fielding any candidates at all levels in the 2015 elections. All those who parade themselves as leaders of Labour Party and go about deceiving members of the public on their status, are impostors. “The so- called NEC meeting said to have been held on March 11, 2015 in Ibadan was an illegality, it had no powers to adopt any person or persons for any political office. “For the avoidance of doubt, LP has not gone into any alliance, merger or understanding with any of the existing political parties including PDP, APC and any other party for that matter,” Mohammed added. “Therefore, we are not endorsing President Jonathan of the PDP or General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC. I hasten to add up for all those who might have been deceived by impostors, the more than N1million workers are not amused by the antics of one A.A Salam,” he concluded. Mohammed stated that their members are free to exercise their franchise and vote in line with their conscience and not according to the dictate of A.A Salam. The caretaker chairman equally lamented how the Ebonyi State Governor, Mr. Elechi Martins, who is not a card carrying member of the party would dissolved the party in his state to save himself from impeachment by the state House of Assembly. “In a bid to save himself from the impeachment, Elechi opportunistically obeyed a directive given to him by the PDP to collapse the LP in the state into PDP. It seems there is no limit to the absurdity of the likes of A.A Salam will be willing to go in their desperate bid for personal aggrandisement.” Speaking on the NLC election, he stressed that the party was worried about the unfolding event, while urging that Ayuba Waba and Joe Ajero should consider the overall interest of the Nigerian workers above any other interest and sheathe their swords. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/labour-party-those-that-endorsed-jonathan-are-impostors/204182/ |
