OGUN LABOUR PARTY DISOWNS ABAYOMI ARABAMBI; DEMANDS HE CEASE AND DESIST FROM PARADING HIMSELF AS CHIEFTAIN OF THE PARYY
The Labour Party, Ogun State Chapter, under the leadership of its constituted executive, hereby issues this definitive statement to set the records straight regarding the status of Mr. Arabambi Abayomi and to respond to the reckless, defamatory, and meritless piece he has circulated against Hon. Ladi Adebutu and our party's integrity.
1. ARABAMBI ABAYOMI IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE LABOUR PARTY
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Arabambi Abayomi is NOT a member of the Labour Party in Ogun State. He has been expelled from our party on multiple occasions due to conduct unbecoming of any serious political actor—conduct that includes financial extortion, betrayal of party principles, and consistent engagement in activities calculated to bring the party into disrepute.
Furthermore, Mr. Abayomi did not revalidate his membership during the party's membership revalidation exercise. Consequently, his name does not appear in the register of the Ogun State Labour Party. He is, therefore, a stranger to our party and has no authority—moral or constitutional—to speak on behalf of the Labour Party or its leadership at any level.
We call on the general public, the media, security agencies, and all political stakeholders to disregard any statement, press release, or public appearance by Mr. Arabambi Abayomi purportedly made on behalf of the Labour Party. He is an interloper, a political jobber, and a man whose only consistent ideology is the pursuit of personal financial gain.
2. THE TRADEMARK OF A FRAUDSTER
The piece authored by Adebayo Osonuga has merely stated what many within Ogun State political circles have long known: Mr. Arabambi Abayomi's modus operandi is to generate noise, manufacture crises, and peddle fictitious allegations to gullible politicians willing to pay for his services. He thrives on confusion, not conviction; on fabrication, not facts.
His recent tirades against Hon. Ladi Adebutu are nothing but the desperate emissions of a man who has been exposed and rejected. Having failed to deliver on phantom promises to one principal, he has now recycled the same merchandise of lies to another, collecting substantial sums of money under the guise of pursuing cases he never filed, evidence he never possessed, and victories he could never deliver. This is not politics. This is fraud.
3. REBUTTING THE SANCTIMONIOUS FICTION
We note that Mr. Abayomi has resorted to his familiar tactics: making unfounded allegations, citing invisible documents, referencing affidavits he has never tendered, and invoking names of institutions and officials in a bid to lend credibility to his fabrications. We will not dignify his every falsehood with a response, but we state clearly:
· No document: Mr. Abayomi has produced no certified court document, no affidavit, and no verifiable evidence to support any of his claims. A man who has evidence does not hide behind press conferences; he files his papers in court and allows the law to take its course.
· No legal authority: Mr. Abayomi's interpretation of Section 77 and other electoral provisions is not law. It is the wishful thinking of a man who has mistaken Google searches for legal scholarship. The interpretation of statutes belongs to courts of competent jurisdiction, not to a serial fraudster seeking media attention.
· No credibility: Mr. Abayomi's allegations of perjury against Hon. Ladi Adebutu are made without a charge, without a police report, without a conviction, and without any shred of substantiated evidence. This is not a legal argument; it is a defamatory campaign orchestrated to damage the reputation of a distinguished Nigerian.
4. ON THE JUDICIARY AND THE DANGER OF JUDGE-INTIMIDATION
We condemn in the strongest terms Mr. Abayomi's reckless and dangerous attempt to intimidate the judiciary by casting aspersions on the integrity of Justice Peter Lifu and other judicial officers. A man who has never won a case on evidence now seeks to win it in the court of public opinion by poisoning the well of justice. This is not activism; it is judicial terrorism, and it has no place in a civilized democracy.
The Labour Party, Ogun State Chapter, has confidence in the judiciary to dispense justice according to law and evidence. We will not engage in the politics of blackmail, nor will we permit any individual—no matter how noisy—to drag our party's name into the mud of cheap, evidence-free accusations.
5. CONCLUSION: A CALL TO DESIST
Mr. Arabambi Abayomi is hereby warned, in clear and unequivocal terms:
1. STOP parading yourself as a chieftain or spokesperson of the Labour Party. You are not a member; your name is not in our register; you have not revalidated your membership.
2. STOP using the Labour Party's name to seek legitimacy for your personal political commerce.
3. STOP making defamatory allegations against leaders of our party and other distinguished Nigerians without evidence.
4. STOP attempting to intimidate the judiciary through press conferences and baseless insinuations.
The Labour Party in Ogun State is focused on building a credible alternative for the people of Ogun State. We will not be distracted by the noise of a man whose word cannot be trusted, whose loyalty is for sale, and whose mouth is his only capital.
To the media and the public: treat Mr. Arabambi Abayomi's utterances for what they are—the desperate cries of a political fraudster seeking relevance and patronage. Verify before you amplify. Demand evidence before you believe.
The court will decide on facts. The people will decide on character. And history will record the truth.
