The Edo State chapter of Labour Party has disclaimed purported guidelines and time-table for the Edo governorship primaries of the party issued by the Lamidi Apapa faction of the party even as agents of the faction sent ahead of the primaries were publicly beaten to pulp in Benin.

The guidelines were reportedly issued by Dr Abayomi Arabambi.

In a press release signed by the Publicity Secretary and Image maker of Edo State Labour Party, Comrade Sam Uroupa noted that the said Dr Abayomi Arabambi is neither a member of Labour Party nor an official of the party and therefore lacks the locus to issue any statement on behalf of the party.

GWG.ng reports that the disclaimer came on the heels of a viral video that showed the purported National Youth Leader of the Apapa faction Anslem Eragbe and other associates being beaten to pulp by irate party supporters in Benin, Edo State.

They had supposedly arrived to prepare for the governorship primary.

Disclaiming the Apapa faction, the mainstream of the party in Edo State said:

“The attention of the Edo State chapter of Labour Party has been drawn to the release of a purported time table of activities for Edo State governorship primaries and signed by one Dr Abayomi Arabambi ahead the 2024 gubernatorial election.
