The leadership of Labour Party on Thursday slammed a six-month ban on its National Youth Leader, Anslem Eragbe, over allegations bordering on forgery, opening of an illegal donation website and acts of insubordination.

This is even as a livid Anslem wrote to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, trade union leaders and LP National Working Committee describing his sanction as illegal.
