The Labour Party on Sunday said the
purported endorsement of
President Goodluck Jonathan by the
party’s National Executive Council
meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State
recently, was done by impostors.
While dissociating itself from the
purported endorsement, the party
said it did not endorse any
candidate and would not do so as
far as the 2015 general elections
was concerned.
The Chairman, National Caretaker
Committee of the LP, Alhaji Salisu
Nuhu Mohammed, who made the
clarification during a press briefing
in Abuja, however, expressed the
hope that the party would present a
presidential candidate for 2019
election.
He said, “We have on many
occasions stated this and I need to
re-emphasise this even at the pains
of being accused of repetition:
Labour Party is not fielding any
presidential candidate in the 2015
elections. All those who parade
themselves as leaders of the LP and
go about deceiving members of the
public on their status are impostors.
“The so-called NEC meeting, said to
have been held on March 11, 2015
in Ibadan, Oyo State, was an
illegality; it had no powers to adopt
any person or persons for any
political office. For the avoidance of
doubt, the LP has not gone into any
alliance, merger or understanding
with any of the existing political
parties, including the Peoples
Democratic Party, the All
Progressives Party and any other
party for that matter.
“Therefore, we are not endorsing
President Goodluck Jonathan of the
Peoples Democratic Party or
General Muhammed Buhari of the
All Progressives Congress”.
The caretaker committee chairman
pointed out that NLC members
were free to exercise their franchise
and vote in line with their
conscience and not according to the
dictates of A. A. Salam.
He also lamented the conduct of
the embattled Governor of Ebonyi
State, Mr. Martins Elechi, who he
said was not a card-carrying
member of the party but “dissolved
the party in his state to save
himself from impeachment”.
“In a bid to save himself from
impeachment, Martins Elechi
opportunistically obeyed a directive
given to him by the PDP to collapse
the LP in the state to the PDP. It
seems there is no limit to the
absurdity the likes of A.A. Salam
will be willing to go in their
desperate bid for personal
aggrandizement”, Mohammed
stated.
