Corruption start from a political party.How can a party sells a common paper for 25million Naira?Tell me why the aspirant will not dip his filthy hands into public funds?
The embattled minister of humanitarian may have bribed Akpabio part of the 2million Naira he sent to each lawmaker 's mailboxes that she want to recover from fund meant for the vulnerable Nigerians.

Labour party was supposed to be a masses\workers party where workers and common man can achieve their political dreams. Where this labour party leadership wants an average Nigerian worker to get N30m to purchase party form is a magic only the party leadership understands embarassed

keep deceiving yourself, labour has lost the goodwill with their behaviour during the car sharing episode in the legislature, Edo people expected Edo labour party representatives in the legislature to reject the over-expensive cars but they were the ones defending it, this made Edo people to realize that labour isn't different from APC and PDP embarassed

The problem is, Nigerians do not want to do something like paying party dues/membership dues.

Labour party in the UK charges its members 48 pounds a year.;;or 56000 naira yearly.

Nigerians no go gree.

The alternative is, the Labour Party would start charging dues. Like, every member should pay N5000 monthly...

Like who go pay? You don't know Nigerians. Unless it would benefit them, dem no go pay.

So, alternative is to charge heavily for party tickets.
