Anambra State chapter of the Labour Party has denied that it has collapsed its structure into the opposition platform, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Deputy Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Linus Oguejiofor, in a statement on Friday, said the claim that it has collapsed structure into ADC is not only false but misleading and a calculated political illusion aimed at confusing teeming supporters.
“Let it be clearly stated that the Labour Party in Anambra remains strong, united and fully intact.
“Our party structure is not only operational but deeply committed to the mission of reclaiming Anambra for good governance,” the statement added.
It stated that the national leader of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, “the face of hope and the symbol of a new Nigeria, remains firmly and rooted in the Labour Party.”
According to Oguejiofor, Obi will personally lead the LP governorship campaign, Dr. George Moghalu and support him in the November 8 election.
“Any suggestion of a merger or a collapse is a fabrication born out of fear and desperation.
“It insults the political consciousness of Ndi Anambra and seek to distort the truth for cheap political advantage,” Linus Oguejiofor said.
He stated that although the Labour Party is engaged in a national coalition for the 2027 general elections, “this coalition does not affect our internal structures or governorship candidacy in Anambra State.
“Coalition agreements explicitly stated that political parties contesting off-cycle elections will maintain their full identity and field their own candidates.”
He called on the party’s supporters to remain vigilant and beware of political merchants who are attempting to exploit the noble intentions of the coalition to mislead and sway the public.
“The George Moghalu Campaign Organisation together with the Labour Party Anambra chapter, urges the public to disregard these distractions and remain focused on the truth.
“Our campaign is built on transparency, service and the shared vision for a better Anambra.
“Together, we move forward, undaunted, united and unshaken,” the statement assured.
