In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the LP denounced the stakeholders’ meeting convened by the NLC, labeling it as an illegal assembly comprising disgruntled former members and unrecognized individuals.

The LP accused the NLC’s Political Commission of being a front for Comrade Joe Ajaero, allegedly designed to further his political aspirations for 2027. The group was purportedly instructed by Ajaero to sow discord within the Labour Party by providing a platform for dissidents who recently lost a leadership battle in court.

The statement emphasized that the NLC’s Political Commission lacks legitimacy and the power to convene meetings or make decisions affecting a legally constituted party leadership.

The LP criticized the NLC’s alleged collusion with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilize the opposition and pointed out the union’s failure to address workers’ rights issues amid harsh economic conditions.

Addressing Ajaero, the LP urged him to prioritize his responsibilities as NLC President and address the challenges facing Nigerian workers instead of pursuing political ambitions.

The party reiterated its support for the Abure-led NWC, highlighting its achievements in the 2023 general elections and its contributions to Nigeria’s political landscape.

The LP concluded by expressing readiness to seek legal recourse if necessary and called on its supporters to remain calm, assuring them that justice will prevail.

The response from the Labour Party comes in response to the NLC’s resolution to void the national convention that reinstated Abure and his NWC members. The NLC also announced plans to set up a transition committee pending the election of new officers.

Additionally, the NLC raised concerns about the need for a forensic audit of the LP’s bank accounts following allegations of corruption and fraud.

Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, has rejected assertions that he is breaching a zoning agreement that would supposedly limit Ebonyi North senators to one term. Addressing claims from his APGA challenger, Chief Chikadoli Ojimba, who recently called for him to step down, Senator Nwebonyi stated there is no constitutional or political mandate requiring him to abandon his 2027 reelection bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking to the press in Abakaliki on Sunday, the Senator pointed to the precedent set by former Governor Sam Egwu, who successfully served two terms in the Senate, to argue that the alleged one-term policy lacks binding authority. Highlighting his own constituency initiatives and record, Nwebonyi stated he faces no serious competition for his seat and emphasized that public service should be defined by sacrifice rather than personal gain.

Additionally, the Senator expressed strong support for the APC’s prospects in Ebonyi State and lauded President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure development in the South-East. He further praised Governor Francis Nwifuru as a unifying leader, dismissing rumors of friction within the Izzi clan and calling on stakeholders to prioritize the state’s collective development over divisive politics.

The festivities, which began after 2 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium, wound through Highbury, Canonbury, and Upper Street before concluding back at the stadium. This parade honored a league victory confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year championship drought. During the event, fans were seen climbing trees and rooftops to see Mikel Arteta’s squad as the players showcased the Premier League trophy. The procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women’s team, winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup this past February.

This celebration followed a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, where Arsenal ultimately fell in a penalty shootout after misses by Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes.
