PRESS STATEMENT FROM THE LABOUR PARTY

We never said Presidency is zoned to South East in 2027 - Labour Party

The leadership of the Labour Party has denied the news making the rounds that it has zoned the 2027 presidential ticket to the South East. For emphasis and clarity, the party has not and will not zone any of its positions to any geographical zone or individual.

In a statement released on Sunday titled, "2027: Labour Party still available for Ndigbo to realise presidency - Abure", the party did not at any time said it has zoned the presidency or any of its positions in the coming election. The party was emphatic on its position that though, it made its platform available for the South East to pursue its political aspirations in the 2023 election, it will not close its doors to the zone if it chooses to work with the party in future elections.

The National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure on Saturday while speaking at a gathering of South East members of the party in FCT only advised that Ndigbo can still achieve the presidency if they are more united and are able to reach out to other groups, and that the Labour Party is a veritable platform for their aspiration.

Labour Party is a national party and has large followership across the country and therefore the issue of zoning does not arise. In 2023 general elections, the party won seats in the North and across the Southern states and we are working hard to surpass that achievement in future elections. Candidates of every position must emerge through highly competitive and democratic processes as the party constitution does not permit zoning.

We therefore regret the misinterpretation of the party's noble intention by a section of the media. Our party was quoted out of context. However, we are excited by the deluge of concerns raised by the public over the misinformation, it clearly shows the level of love and trust Nigerians have for the Labour Party and how far they are willing to support the party in the task of repositioning Nigeria and ensuring that the democracy works again in our dear country. We seize this opportunity to call on Nigerians to have faith in the Labour Party and to support us for the huge task ahead. We will not fail you. Together, we shall overcome.

“I don't think there's anyone whose posts offend my spirit like Reno Omokri.

I wonder if he thinks there's anyone that believes he's not getting paid to drag Peter Obi everyday.

This is a 51-year old man we're talking about o.

And the best thing they thought he was good for is online foot soldier job.

Like, there's no bigger sign that they don't rate you than to give you an online dragger job.

How he does it with a straight face and show up everyday without shame is the real mystery.

There's nothing he can't connect to and use to drag Peter Obi.

*Kidnappers abduct 3 people in Nassarawa*

Reno: "In 1905, Peter Obi's grandfather said this and that."

*America elects a new President."

Reno: "Congratulations America. Hope Peter Obi can see the meaning of this and that."

*Woman gives birth in Osun state.*

Reno: "Has Peter Obi said anything about this?"

The Peter Obi that he drags everyday was a two-time governor at the age of 44.

He was the a board member and later Chairman of Fidelity Bank between age 37 and 41.

I wonder if he thinks there's any world where he and Peter Obi are mates in any way.

I don't even think the people paying him rate him like that.

They gave him a job that even the ponmo-empowered Ronu-ists of the South West would not do.

Make you dey do online foot soldier at 51 years old.

This was a man that got caught with his pants down as SA on New Media to President Goodluck Jonathan.

He was so dumb that he created a fake profile called Wendel Simlin to attack Sanusi Lamido who was the CBN Governor then and left loads of footprints.

Only for dem Omojuwa, Ogundamisi and co to catch the mumu and drag his ignorant ass to the public.

At 51, he's still the same Wendel Simlin that got caught and is now being used to do foot soldier work.”
