WHAT AGUOCHA SAID:

In an interview on Channels TV Sunrise Daily, Obi Aguocha (LP Rep Member-Elect for Umuahia North/Umuahia South/Ikwuano Federal Constituency) had backed the APC Zoning arrangement.

We have had several candidates for speakership come to us but I prefer to go with him (Tajudeen Abbas). He is the one that I believe would bring about intellectual content to the Federal house."

“In this day and age of Peter Obi, Nigerians are yearning for good governance, Nigerians are yearning for something that is different. If by what we see by APC, he (Abbas Tajudeen) stands tall above every other person running in APC.”

Labour Party reacts:

STATEMENT

10th Assembly: Hon Ogah and Aguocha's position on APC's zoning formular, President Tinubu's leadership, personal not party position.

The attention of the leadership of the Labour Party has been drawn to interviews granted by two of our House of Representatives members-elect, Hon. Amobi Ogah and Hon. Obi Aguocha wherein they expressed their satisfaction with the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the zoning formular of the All Progressives Congress, APC on the leadership of the 10th Assembly.

The members-elect had in their different interviews said that they alongside some of their colleagues have "agreed to go towards government and party decision" on the zoning of the leadership of the national assembly.

Though as newly elected lawmakers on the platform of the Labour Party, the Members-elect made the utterances which are clearly within their rights as individuals as enshrined in the laws of the land however, the party has a view quite different from what the honourable members were quoted to have said.

As individuals, the lawmakers do not have the mandate to speak for the party and therefore cannot claim to be standing on the platform of the Labour Party to speak, giving views that are diametrically opposed to ideals for which Labour Party stands for.

Labour Party is presently in the tribunal hoping to retrieve our mandate which was expressively given to our presidential candidate on the February 25, and every testament emanating from the tribunal points to the fact that Labour Party clearly won the election but was robbed. We have remained resolute to our belief that justice will be done and so soon.

For the records, Labour Party has nothing against the personality of President Tinubu, however, we are challenging both the process and final outcome of the presidential election. We as a party insist that the route to His Excellency must be excellent and anything other than that amounts to a mockery of democracy.

We therefore caution the two lawmakers and by extension, any other member elected on the platform of the Labour Party who chose to walk outside the agreed position and ideals of the party to desist from such trajectory and vain glory.

The party has given a clear directives and will not condone any of its members who will not subsume to the supremacy of the party. We therefore demand that the affected lawmakers retrace their steps and tender unreserved apologies to the leadership of the party.

Labour Party is so undemocratic in everything they do, someone cannot praise someone from another party even if the person has done something good?? They had good governance at heart in the first place?. If they were allowed to rule, Nigerians from other parties will become their enemies be that.

Lol people wey dey cry 247 Abt Freedom of Speech can't even take a drop of dere own medicine...

Leave my One term Rep ooo, though we are hoping he goes again if he does well.

The party is saying that they deserve the right to speak for themselves as individuals but not to speak for the party

Get the difference

Nice one from Labour Party. ☺️

You can see how Organized they are, without that Tinubu/APC Babalawo imposter called lamidi Apapa.

No room for Rash statements or actions in the Party.🙂

Quite unintelligent and predictable

So were the two members speaking for the party?? What's wrong with them expressing how they feel about someone?? Or they lost their right of expression the moment they joined Labour Party?? Or they became Zombies that Labour Party most direct them on what they will say or do??

Keep crying

Good. LP should continue to score home goals. They're fast losing the little regard the masses have left for them

If the general election is conducted again, LP and PDP together will not get 2 million votes

They should continue playing nzogbu nzogbu politics.

Eye go open soon

May God continue to lead and direct president Tinubu to make favorable decisions for Nigeria. It's time to take our rightful place as the Giant of Africa

Very useless statement from a useless party.

Rest for ones

LP is still sleeping. By the time they wake from their slumber, all their legislators would have moved to APC....😁😁😁😁😁

Quote me when it happens soon...

Now I believe what wike said in his interview the other day, that some of these LP members benefited from the peter obi wave but have a mind of their own.

Na to dey recall these bastards if they know they want to be supporting APC that has divided this country. we put you there in LP when APC rejected you so the least you can do is show loyalty to LP not APC

Yeye party

Watchout soon,Agoucha will be in APC.

Recall loading. Labour Party is not an agbero party like APC where anything goes

Ok

We know it will happen sooner than later. Even PDP lawmakers will key in soon.

Jokers..

Is it not better to flow with the tide than against it?

I think it will be in the best interest of the LP to back APC in the House.

They need APC more than APC needs them.

LP keep chiding and arttacking yourselves ok but for you to destroy this country we will resist you all with everything in us, that Tutsi Hutu satanic scenario you are wishing on Nigeria will never happen.

You will ruin yourselves with your hatred for everything and we don't care but one thing is sure your obi will never rule Nigeria till he die, carry on with your hate for everything may thunder fire anyone that preach love and peace to you LP again.

LP Will go o into extinction before the next general elections. Peter Obi has really destroyed the party.

These recent statements from LP means they will be disaster if they grab the helm of affairs at the top. Those guys were saying that as a federal executive and not as a labour party . That party will soon turn to disaster. Even many of their elected members will soon abandon them by heart. Very bad in reactions.

Please shut up there abeg,

How old are you?

Can you please show us what APC law makers from South West were saying about national assembly leadership in 2014 during Jonathan presidency?

I hate Hypocrisy at all levels.

They are not keying in per se, APC choiced Deputy Speaker is from the State, so it is natural they back him.

All Abia Reps and to some extent SE Reps will vote him irrespective of Party.

Those whom the gods broke their palm kernels do not know the stress those with teeth feel
