National publicity secretary, PCC trade blame

Less than five weeks after the inauguration of its presidential campaigns council (PCC), the chances of Labour Party in the 2023 polls is being threatened by allegations of corruption.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Arabambi Abayomi, who spoke exclusively with THISDAY, alleged a grand conspiracy against him by the Doyin Okupe-led group in the party, he has also vowed to expose him (Okupe) and other members of the party involved in the alleged diversion of funds meant to prosecute the party’s presidential election.

However, the party has threatened to punish its National Publicity Secretary for working against it ahead of the 2023 election.

Ogun State Chapter of Labour Party had in separate press briefing held last week, passed a vote of no confidence on the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure and the National Organising Secretary of the party who also doubled as the General Secretary of the PCC, Chief Clement Ojukwu.

The Ogun State chapter had also demanded the immediate dissolution of the entire party’s PCC over alleged lopsidedness in its composition, stressing that the composition of its PCC did not reflect the federal character, unlike what was contained in the constitution of the party.


Arabambi who has distanced himself from the activities of Labour Party since the inauguration of the party’s PCC, disclosed to THISDAY that his grouse was with Okupe, who he accused of importing corruption into Labour Party.

Arabambi lamented that his life had been under threat since he challenged Okupe to refund the N50 million former president Goodluck Jonathan gave to Labour Party during the 2015 presidential election.

“This is my 13 years in Labour Party. People cannot just come into the party and in four months they will be telling us that they know more than us in the party.


“My life is under threat by Dr Doyin Okupe, my life is under threat by Ojukwu. I have the right to protect my life that is why I dissociated myself.

“The main cause of the matter is Doyin Okupe. We (LP) supported Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 and Jonathan gave Labour Party N50 million that was diverted by Doyin Okupe.

“These were the issues that I raised and concerning some documents and all of them now said, let us come against this guy because I told him that he has to refund that money. Okupe and others never knew providence would bring us together in Labour Party. They didn’t expect it,” he said.

Arabambi vowed to seek redress in court on the matter.

He said: “As I speak to you Okupe has purchased two brand new Range Rovers worth N65 million each. This was Okupe that was using an old Sienna before he came to Labour Party.

“Okupe has not given N1 to Labour Party ever since he joined the party. He should provide evidence.

“I am the National Publicity Secretary, the Constitution of the party is expressly cleared that I shall handle all promotion, advertisement, campaign banners and anything that has to do with publicity. It’s there in the constitution.


“But it was just a gang-up of which I am still going to challenge in the court. There is serious corruption going on in Labour Party that we are going to have a day for in court.”

However, in reaction to Arabambi’s allegations, Labour Party has issued him a warning, saying it would not hesitate to activate penalty measures against him for his underperformance in office.

In a letter personally signed by the National Secretary of the Party, Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the party expressed worries over his recent public conduct which the party said it would no longer condole.

The letter reads in part: “Dear Mr. Arabambi, Your recent behaviour and public conducts in matters related to party affairs have come to the notice of members of the National Working Committee and indeed members of the National Executive Council of the party with dismay.

“While emphasising that some of your unsatisfactory performance have demonstrated your inability or unwillingness to conform to expected standards of public relations officers and spokespersons of the party.

“It is therefore necessary to initiate this corrective action to cause you to understand that not only are your behaviours unacceptable, but also that we are at a point where such performance and unacceptable conduct can no longer be tolerated.

“You have been verbally counseled on numerous occasions concerning your public performance and conduct in relation to party affairs.

“You are hereby advised that disciplinary action may be taken if your behaviour and conduct do not improve and conform with the party’s constitution and code of conduct.”

Lol. For who dont know comrade Arabambi Abayomi . Google his name to know more about him. A known gbas-gbos political gladiator in Ogun state Labour party even prior to the arrival of Obi.

It is with great joy that i announce to you my fellow bethren that these guys will help Nigerians run down this dubious party called Labour party. Party with over 30 different funding account. Everyone cashing out at will.

See Gobe season 2. What do you expect when the head is rotten, beginning from Obi drawing up his PCC list without recourse to the party structure and then manipulating the caimpaign for self enrichment scheme with different accounts flying all over social media from Obi's accounts to the Party's official account to the youth leader account number and several social media influencers fleecing gullible zombidients.

Tinubu is a certified drug lord.

Tell Thifnubu to use this picture next time instead of stealing Donald Duke's picture.

If it is smooth all the way, nah set up. Challenges refine men into champions.

Lol, Nigerians have decided, this Ogun Lp have collected money to cause trouble but it won't work

LP stands for Looters party I guess. They have started stealing even before the election.

Labour party have always been a peaceful party until the scammer Obifraud joined. Even when the party produced a state governor and had structures, her executives had never accused one another like this.

Obifraud scattered APGA with fraud, left PDP unceremoniously and now about to put Labour party in shame by frauding the party and her gullible zombidients supporters. SAY NO TO OBIFRAUD

It is amazing to believe that some youths did not see the scam in the sudden emergence of Peter Obi. Just a few months ago Peter Obi was in PDP that enthroned one of the worst period of corruption and profligacy in our country; FOR THE RECORDS PETER OBI DID NOT LEAVE PDP OUT OF PRINCIPLES, HE LEFT OUT OF FRUSTRATION WHEN HE WAS MUZZLED OUT. That is why he has been likened to a mentally challenged person who is just moved to a new facility and promptly declared to be fit without rehabilitation. That is an insult to millions of Nigerians; also Peter Obi believes in subsidy removal whereas Labour Party opposes subsidy removal in its entirety, yet they tell Nigerians they are working together. That is an insult to millions of Nigerians.

Even religiously, he has been moving from one church to another as if he's only going to be christians president, his campaign is based on insults, sentiments, propaganda and cyber bullying.

Even if he wins which I actually don't see Sha, Nigeria will witness shege raised to the power of thousands.
