LP not in merger with any political party, scribe Reacts

Labour Party (LP) has urged Nigerians to disregard news making the rounds that it was working out a merger arrangement with a political structure.

National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, made the rebuttal in a statement yesterday.
According to him, the report is twisted and sensationalised by a section bent on embarrassing the party.

His words: “A news organisation called for a reaction as regards to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s proposal for opposition political parties to work together to fight against one party system in Nigeria.

“In my reaction, I said that it was only a proposal and every Nigerian should be interested in making democracy work and that what we have presently is an autocratic era
“There was nowhere in the response that the purported merger between LP and PDP was mentioned.”

Ifoh said LP had just concluded the 2023 general election episode, and a postmortem was yet to hold.

He said the way forward for the party had not been discussed.
“When we do, Nigerians will be properly informed,” he said.

The official urged Nigerians to disregard the news and many others.
He said the party had its official platform to disseminate information.
