*LABOUR PARTY DECRIES YET ANOTHER ATTACK ON ITS SECRETARIAT IN IMO STATE BY THUGS AND AGENTS OF THE IMO STATE GOVERNMENT.*

At the early hours of today, Monday 28 August, the Imo state Secretariat of the Labour Party has once more been attacked by the police and thugs allegedly by the directives of the state government.

The state chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Callistus Ihejiagwa had earlier sent an SOS to the public informing Nigerians to come to the aid of the party which at the time was at the mercy of the attackers who comprised of over a hundred Thugs and the accompanying men of the Police Force.

The SOS read, "IMO STATE LABOUR PARTY OFFICE IN OWERRI UNDER SERIOUS ATTACK BY HOPE UZODINMA LED THUGS AND POLICEMEN.
THEY ARE PRESENTLY DEMOLISHING STRUCTURES IN OUR SECRETARIAT.
PLEASE LET THE ENTIRE WORLD HEAR THIS AND COME TO OUR AID."

In a voice mail sent to our party headquarters later, the state chairman of the party said, "We have been invaded by the thugs and policemen under the directives of Hope Uzodinma, they have pulled down all our flags, pulled down the banners of Peter Obi, pulled down the banners of our governorship candidate, seized People's phone, beat people up, and committed all manners of atrocities just now in our office."

He said when he confronted them, they said they were under directives by the state government to pulled down Peter Obi and Senator Athan's billboards but particularly that of Obi.

He said, "They were instructed to target Obi's billboard everywhere in the city. One of the assaulted members of the party is presently hospitalized after the brutality meted at us. We are calling on the whole world to hear our predicament and come to our aid. The government is now hounding every opposition element in the state. "

Recall that early last week, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi led a crowd of party faithful and supporters including Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti and Labour Party members of the national assembly to formally inaugurate the governorship campaign of our candidate Senator Athan Achonu. The sea of heads that graced the occasion is believed to have sent a shocking warning of what will happen in the November 11, Governorship election in the state.

You will also recall that thesame secretariat was attacked in March and as well in April this year by the police in connivance with the state government.

We are therefore calling on the state government to refrain from using brute force and intimidation against opposition political parties in the state.

We are also calling on the Inspector General of the Police to caution the government of the state and order the police commissioner in the state to rise to the occasion and check any further intimidation of the Labour party and our members in the state.

Hellu Peee, the club that never knows peace.

Your skull needs to be mined

TemplarLandry:
Losers' Party (LP) is a fiasco, a bunch of deluded people who don't know the nitty gritty of politics and governance. LP is merely a regional party;

No ideology,
No clearly-set manifesto,
And most unfortunate, no gumption.

It hurts me that this type of lackluster opposition party ever sprung from Nigeria.

I reflect with “E Dey Pain Me O” by Black Face feat. Rock Steady & Mallam Spicy. Solemn jam!
Track 6 of the “Ghetto Child” album.

Have you evolved from an accomodating landlord to a tomb raider in search of skulls yet ?

INEC should de register this mushroom labour party as a political party

Ikpu nne gi

Hope Uzodinma is getting jittery over Athan's growing popularity plus Peter Support.

It's obvious that the impression that Athan Achonu is sponsored by Hope Uzodinma is another social media FAKE NEWS or someone is somewhere misinforming the people.

It's crystal clear that APC doesn't care about fixing this dysfunctional country; they just want to remain in power using any means necessary.

See the comments above. The same set of people that will not allow Nigeria to succeed. Always attacking good governance.
