Labour Party Gives New Clarity On Alleged Merger With PDP
The Labour Party, LP has dismissed news reports of a planned merger with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP saying that the reports were unfounded.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiorah Ifoh in a statement made available to GWG.ng deposed that the reports about a merger between the PDP and Labour Party were taken out of context from a statement he made to a news organisation.
Responding to the insinuations of a merger between Labour and PDP, Ifoh said:
“Kindly disregard the sensational news making the round which suggests that Labour Party is working out a merger arrangement with any other political party. It is purely a news item twisted and sensationalized by a section of the media to embarrass the Labour Party.
“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 being planned by the APC. In my reaction, I said that it was only a proposal and every Nigerian should be interested in making democracy work in Nigeria and that what we have presently is an autocracy. There was no where in the response that the purported merger between LP and PDP was mentioned.
“The Labour Party has just concluded the 2023 general election episode and a post mortem is yet to hold, therefore the way forward for the party has not been discussed. When we do, Nigerians will be properly informed.
“I therefore urge Nigerians to disregard such and many other twisted and sensational stories purported to emanate from the Labour Party. The party has its official platform used to disseminate its information.”
