BREAKING NEWS
After due consultation with all the relevant stakeholders in the Party, and taking into consideration the overwhelming interest of Nigerians in our Party,and the necessity to birth a new Nigeria, and in view of the prevailing high cost of things in Nigeria,which the incompetent APC ruling party has foisted on all Nigerians, the Labour Party, as a listening Party, has taken note of the suggestions of Nigerians that a party of the working class Nigerians should settle for a nomination fee of not more than N15m for the post of a Governor.

In line with our avowed disposition to carry Nigerians along in what we do, the Party has decided to review the cost of nomination forms downwards for all positions taking into consideration the suggested amount of N15m for the post of Governor. We must move together to salvage our country from incompetent and dishonest leadership of the old order.

Signed
Kenneth Okonkwo
Spokesperson, Labour Party, Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council

What matters most is not that a man makes a mistake, rather it is that a man accepts responsibility, when he makes a mistake.

This is something that Festus Keyamo will never know. He rushed to blab, and now LP has disgraced him.

Left to me, I think the N15 million is still a bit steep. N5million is appropriate to me, so that women and youths can also via for the ticket.

Financial rascality must be removed from Nigerian politics. That's the only way forward.

Hoelujohn:

With 5 million naira, opposition party will sponsor like 20 other candidates in the party to come and destabilize the party. They will all now decamp later and say they have endorsed the party of their sponsors

Afamsi:
Every individual or group may have their flaws but the ability to listen to good counsel and take necessary correction often distinguishes the good and the evil

To start with, why should Kenneth Okonkwo be the one issuing this statement? Is he the party spokesman? Is the presidential campaign council now running the party?

The national working committee should make this decision and not the Obi/Datti campaign council. Labour Party will be worse than PDP and APC in terms of internal democracy. I’ve no business with how much they sell their party’s nomination form but they should run the party like a Democratic Party and not an appendage of the presidential campaign council.

I understand your disappointment. The propaganda discussion you had planned for today, in your APC WhatsApp groups, has been destroyed. You now have to scratch your heads for the topic for today. You know what, maybe you can discuss Femi Fani Kayode and his brilliant plan to fight the UK. That's an amazing discussion for today. Discuss.

Is OBIDATTI spokesman now Labour party PRO?

Nigerialabalaba:
Yeye. Shey N15m na for working class

Frizz001:
It is definitely more affordable than 25m and shows willingness to listen and compromise. The party must also fund its activities. Did you complain of APC's demonic 100m presidential form despite being the ruling party with unbridled access to public funds?
