In a significant turn of events, the Lamidi Apapa-led Labour Party has chosen Uwadiae Asemota Anderson, a seasoned lawyer and Managing Partner of Neplus Ultra, as its gubernatorial candidate for Edo state.


The decision was made during the party primaries held at the Golden Tulip Hotel Etete, GRA Benin City, Edo state.

Anderson secured a resounding affirmation with 188 votes, showcasing strong support within the party.

The primaries were conducted by Chief Electoral Officer, Comrade Roland Daramola, and the Secretary of the electoral committee, Bishop Favour Reuben.

However, a twist occurred as another candidate, Olumide Akpata, emerged from the Julius Abire-led Labour Party, declaring victory with 316 votes in a separate exercise held in Benin City. This conflicting outcome led to a heated dispute within the party.


National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi, expressed dissatisfaction, denouncing Akpata’s candidacy as “ultra vires, non and void,” citing legal judgments from the Federal High Court in Owerri, the Court of Appeal in Owerri, and the Supreme Court in Abuja.

Arabambi questioned Akpata’s legitimacy and alleged ties to the PDP, emphasizing the party’s commitment to upholding court rulings.

The controversy further intensified as PLATFORM TIMES obtained court documents affirming the restraint of Abure, the candidate from the Abire-led faction.

A Federal High Court in Imo state, the Court of Appeal in Owerri, and the Supreme Court all upheld the decision that Alhaji Lamidi Apapa remains the acting chairman of the Labour Party.


Amidst these legal battles, Uwadiae Asemota Anderson stands as the undisputed candidate for the Lamidi Apapa-led faction, emphasizing stability and adherence to legal norms.

Anderson, a graduate of Ambrose Alli University, has an impressive legal background, having handled numerous election petition cases and civil matters.

His experience and track record in navigating legal challenges position him as a formidable candidate for the Labour Party in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo state.

As the election season unfolds, the Labour Party braces for a fierce contest, with Anderson leading the charge against other contenders.

The intricacies of party politics and legal battles add an extra layer of complexity to an already dynamic electoral landscape in Edo state.



In a recent development, Bar. Monday Ojore Mawah has been unveiled as the deputy governorship candidate for the Labour Party in the upcoming election in Edo state.

This announcement positions Mawah alongside Anderson as they embark on their political journey, representing the party in the crucial race ahead.

The drug lord himself coined the word Agbado after his disastrous suggestion that soldiers should be feed with maize 🌽 and Cassava to boost the economy. now that the economy is boosted, agbado has now become a symbol of Maize 🌽 and Corruption.
How much is one mudu of maize in the market my dear agbadorian

Na Pandorans aka Obirodents coin am.
The trick is just to repeat it consistently on different social media platform and it will stick.
Even only you can do it for one week and it will become viral.
Use different platforms
If you want any lie to stick,repeat it consistently.
Like Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu (a blatant lie) hence Yorubas are betrayers while true practical events showed that Igbos are the serial betrayers,serial back stabbers and very unreliable people.
Abiola's Kanu one million match,Nzeribe's treachery that Yoruba will never be president.
The killing of Ahmadu by Nzeogwu that they helped,killing and maligning of SS people,killing of all other tribes leaders and elites while leaving theirs etc.

It just happened to Tinubu through Orji Uzor Kalu again.

You think only Igbos are against Tinubu Think again.
I'm not Igbo but I align myself with them because of their sincerity and objectivity to matters not just in Nigeria but across the world.
For instance, they rejected Joe Biden and supported Trump. Where's Joe Biden today Igbos have been justified.
They supported GEJ and rejected Buhari. Where's buhari today with Nigeria He destroyed Nigeria. History again and again has proven them right.
For Nigeria's development and progress, I rather stand with them than align with people driven by tribalism and religion. If Nigerians had listened to them, we'll not be in this sorry state.
Nigeria is what it is today because the rest of Nigeria will rather joins hands and fight Igbos than cooperate with them.
Forgive them for laughing at the sorry state of Nigeria. They've every right to. They warned but Nigeria refused to listen.

There is fire on the mountain in all the political parties in Edo except in the PDP.

So help us God

wahala wahala wahala

labour party is a confuse party

No
They supported Trump. Check well. They are known Republicans remember.
Now to Objectivity... What Is generally referred to as BIAS.... EVERYONE HAS A BIAS ....it's not. A bad thing.
Igbos just become opposition in 2015 bro, they enjoyed all the years of PDP and the lootings .....if they did well why did majority clamour for chage in 2015?... Don't get carried away by their emotional blackmail.... If you are to be objective you will see that they are doing all this just to grab power like others too.... if them reach there their corruption will be massive and they will even be bold to justify it by saying when Hausa/Fulanis and Yorubas were ruling they were also stealing

Dey play
