AHEAD OF PEPC JUDGEMENT LABOUR PARTY WARNS MISCHIEF MAKERS, VOWS TO UPHOLD DEMOCRACY
The Labour Party has continued to watch with keen interest some unguarded statements by some individuals and groups claiming to be supporters of the Presidential Candidate of our great party, Mr Peter Gregory Obi.
The LP is a Party that is guided by strict adherence to the rule of law and good conduct, a unique endowment that has stood us out among other political parties in the country.
It's very unfortunate that since the conduct of the last election, particularly the Presidential polls, various mudslinging and character assassination that continue to trail the outcome of elections from Our Supporters have continued to rob us of necessary sympathy that would have assisted LP to continue to grow in leaps and bounds.
The Party has been turned into a regional and ethnic bigot, you are always given unnecessary bashing and attacks if they see you giving constructive and candid advice.
Many of these unguarded statements and actions by the so-called Obidients reflect on the ways and manners the IPOB also operates, so one may be tempted to say that all those who say they were fighting for the 'restoration' of Peter Obis mandate, were recruits from the IPOB.
It's un african for anybody to be debasing Our leaders the way these Obidients were doing. Calling your President various unprintable names in the name of Politics, and trying to instigate the people against constituted authority.
As a Party we will not continue to tolerate this, Never in Our political history have we got it so bad as this. The need to caution our followers must be prioritised, or else, no sane individual will ever identify with us.
As we await the verdict from the tribunal, we urge all our good supporters to remain calm. Que sera sera, so says a popular cliche. Only God can anoint the King and if all builders build and God says no, what can we the ordinary mortals do?
We urged all Our supporters not to listen to the voice and reasoning of those routing for crisis. We know that they meant evil for the Country and we will not be part of their shenanigans.
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another time.
Labour Party will as a matter of principle accept whatever the outcome of the Tribunal and go back to the drawing board to re-strategise for a better outing next time.
Labour Party by this statement call on law enforcement agencies to continue to perform their constitutional roles by ensuring that all those that seem to be fomenting trouble are brought to book. Nigeria is bigger than an individual or group.
Also worrisome is Mr ABURE disposition to decision of the presidential election petition tribunal to deliver the judgment via live coverage which ordinarily is the uncontroverted right of the tribunal to shame all the IPOB supporters of Julius Abure who are the real voices of " All Eyes On The JUDICIARY"
It's stand logic in the head that those political misfits and anarchist who kept attacking the integrity of the 5 panel of justices of their perceived belives that the tribunal will not be fair in their judgement could come out to condemned the decisions on Live coverage.
Labour party under the Lamidi Apapa led NWC want to emphasize that it is not the right of the people in a democracy to demonstrate violently in an attempt to intimidate the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria in order to overthrown a legitimate government through illegitimate means
We therefore urge the Inspector General of Police to arrest and prosecute any miscreants causing civil disobedience or engaging in an act capable of causing breech of peace in the name of Labour party as they are not our member but the political wing of IPOB loyal to Julius Abure
and the obligation of state security agents to protect the demonstrators and those not demonstrating.
We want Nigerians to note that Julius Abure has through the disjointed statements issued by his personal aides has conceded defeat and he is already planing to appeal to supreme Court when he said and I quote "Meanwhile, we implore Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful, abide by the rule of law, and understand that this matter has not reached its logical and final conclusion."
This has shown the reasons while they launched the unwarranted attack on the judiciary knowing full well the end result from inception
Labour Party by this statement call on law enforcement agencies to continue to perform their constitutional roles by ensuring that all those that seem to be fomenting trouble are arrested and brought to book using full instrument of the Law
Nigeria is bigger than an individual or group.
