By Simeon OSAJIE
The leadership of the Edo State chapter of Labour Party, (LP) has urged members of its party and the general public to disregard those impostors who are masquerading as caretaker committee executive of the party in Edo State and to note that their existence is restricted only within the figment of their fraudulent imaginations.
Addressing journalists at the state secretariat of the party in Benin City, Edo State capital, the State Executive Committee (SEC) led by Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi stated that despite the pronouncement of a court with competent jurisdiction over this matter, these impostors are still in the business of parading themselves as Labour Party caretaker committee members with a sinful motive to mislead the public and defraud them of their hard earned resources against the backdrop of sanctity, accountability, equity, integrity, justice and fairness which forms the bedrock for the establishment of the Labour Party by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
He noted: “Today we are here to openly inform the general public including the downtrodden in our society who constitutes the membership strength of our great party to completely disregard those impostors who are masquerading as caretaker committee executive of Labour Party here in Edo State and to note that their existence is restricted only within the figment of their fraudulent imaginations and not Labour Party.
“Today we are putting an end to this whole malaise that is almost tearing our great party apart, we are losing some prominent members of our party to opposition political parties on daily basis which of course is the original intentions of this elements and their pay masters.
“We will not allow this to continue because the generations yet unborn will not forgive us should we allow this evil activities of the enemies of progress to continue under our watch, Labour Party shall remain one and indivisible.
“These gang of strange, desperate individuals with sinister motives are not bonifide members of Labour party, we want the general public to please take note. We will continue to explore all legitimate means to expose and bring them to justice.”
Going further, Comrade Ogbaloi called on all genuine members of our great party and the general public to totally disregard any ill arrangements in the name of Labour Party Congress, and any other exercise put together that is being circulated by these barefaced individuals devoid of openness and wide reach out, should be completely ignored.
“We are in touch with notable stakeholders of our great Party to improvise solutions to obvious debacles bedeviling the party in current times, and as soon as this is completed, appropriate date and authentic program for an all-inclusive Labour Party Congress as contained in the judgement of 23rdSeptember, 2024 by the Federal High Court seating in Benin City, shall be communicated to all.
“Finally we wish to admonish all genuine Labour Party faithfuls across board to keep hope alive because any establishment without opposition cannot stand firm, Labour Party will continue to remain the party for common Nigerians embroidered with high sense of dignity and integrity, we will continue to stand firm against anti-people’s policies so that the labours of our heroes past will not be in vein,” he added.
