Labour Party Unveils Massive 481-Member Campaign Council For Imo Gubernatorial Election....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In Imo, the Labour Party has formally launched a campaign council comprising 481 members to coordinate and lead their efforts for the upcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for November 11.
Callistus Ihejiagwa, the Chair of the Labour Party in Imo, emphasized the gravity of the situation and urged council members not to underestimate the “urgent and critical” mission to rescue the state.
He reminded them that they now bear the responsibility of representing the Labour Party, Senator Athan Achonu, and Peter Obi throughout every corner and community in their respective areas. Mr. Ihejiagwa stressed that this is a call to duty, service, and selfless dedication for the betterment of Imo.
Mr. Ihejiagwa urged the council to approach their duties with pride, integrity, and a selfless spirit, recognizing that they have been chosen by a divine purpose to free Imo. He cautioned that failure to deliver on this mission would not be forgiven by the people.
He also highlighted the prevailing insecurity in the state, which has prompted many to hold traditional events outside of Imo due to concerns about potential attacks.
Addressing criticisms about the party’s lack of prominent vehicles and infrastructure, Mr. Ihejiagwa countered that those who possess grand cars and structures often harbor the structure of corruption, a problem Peter Obi aims to eradicate. He pointed out that these individuals have enriched themselves at the expense of the state and the nation’s common resources.
Mr. Ihejiagwa emphasized that the people are yearning for a new era in Imo and Nigeria, asserting that a brighter future is within reach.
He called upon council members and party officials to demonstrate unwavering commitment, promote peace, uphold fairness, embrace transparency, and foster unity to secure success and triumph in the upcoming election.
Chime Nzeribe, the Director-General of the council, described the forthcoming election as a battle not only for Imo but also for the emancipation of Igboland as a whole. He urged council members to return to their communities and work diligently. He pointed out that one of the challenges faced by the party in previous elections was insufficient mobilization at polling stations and inadequate protection of their results, a problem they must rectify to safeguard their success.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has pledged to ensure inclusive governance by integrating non-indigenes and various interest groups if elected in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said his administration would operate a structured system that promotes participation and representation of all segments of society in governance.
The pledge was conveyed by a former lawmaker and ex-Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, after he represented the candidate at an engagement with members of the Arewa community in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area.
Oyintiloye said the plan is aimed at strengthening the link between government and grassroots communities, ensuring public policies reflect citizens’ real needs.
He added that all groups would be actively involved in both policy formulation and implementation to drive development in the state.
Oyebamiji also promised continued engagement with farmers, traders, artisans, and non-indigene communities as key stakeholders in governance.
Responding, leaders of the Arewa community commended past inclusion efforts and pledged support for the APC candidate ahead of the election.
Barely a year after its inauguration in Akwa Ibom State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been plunged into a deep factional crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple factions are now locked in a struggle for control of the party, leaving members uncertain about the legitimate leadership structure.
One faction is led by John Akpanudodehe, a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while another is headed by the embattled state chairman, Dick Duke.
Although the leader of a third faction could not be immediately confirmed, findings indicate that another group also exists within the party.
Sources further suggest that the Akpanudodehe-led faction is seeking to remove the current chairman through a recently held congress that has sparked controversy.
In response, Dick Duke convened a stakeholders’ meeting over the weekend, where he rejected the legitimacy of the said congress.
He said the party had formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the exercise, citing a subsisting court order.
According to him, his tenure as state chairman is still valid until May, and any congress conducted before then would be unlawful.
Duke added that the party would only proceed with proper congresses after the expiration of his tenure and the resolution of legal issues, in line with due process.
