Protocols:

Introductions: We give thanks to the Lord God Almighty, who against all odds and entanglement, made it possible for us as a party , to move forward.

Against all odds from within and without. The opposition political parties are unstoppable. There is nothing new confronting us as a political party that is hidden from Nigerians as the ruling APC are hell bent on dragging the country towards a one party line but this has failed.

1. Labour Party': The Labour Party's ideal of social democracy and the determined service to the masses make it a standout political platform, irrespective of the current challenges that might be confronting us, the party will certainly outlive any political party in this country. Ours is to be patient, tactical and be determined in making it work.

2. Coalition not Merger: The ongoing coalition in the country is a panacea that wrecked havock to the agenda behind making the country to forcefully toe a line of one party system. The coalition is a testament and resolved that Nigerians will never be stranded in the face of all shorts of distablisation of opposition political parties and grand Manipulations as we have been witnessing since 2023 general elections.

3. Supreme Court and INEC: the Supreme Court of Nigeria had in it's land mark judgement cleared all the debris of the leadership tussle placed before the party. However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a willing tool of illegality and as an umpire if the ruling political oligarchy against the Nigerian people has been aiding, abetting and promoting such illegality not only against the Labour Party but against the constitution, Nigerian State as well as against the Democratic principles and ethics. We believed and affirmed today that forces of darkness shall failed and disappear as we entered the dawn of a new day.

4. APC and the will of the people: The ruling All Progressive Party (APC,) at the center since it's enthronement in 2015 till date has demonstrated itself as a chronic anti-people in policies and programs. The APC leadership has only succeeded in making the lives of the majority miserable and brutished . The Pro Terrorists and Bandits led government only continue to aggressively impoverishing the masses the more. This is a true assessment of the country's leadership. Therefore, we can't but set out with a renewed strength and determination in building an enduring platform that must outlast the present challenges beyond the 2027 general elections 

5. Mobilisation and membership revalidation: As we set out officially today, our primary agenda inline with national Body of our party under Distinguished leadership of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha is to embark on mobilisation into our party of fresh members as well as the revalidation of the existing membership. This we must do with a renewed commitments and seals.

6. Finally, the principles of accountability, honestly and open arms and integrity shall be the guards that will guide this leadership in Oyo State.

7. Thank you all.

Labour party!!!

Forward ever!!!

Oyo State Obidient Movement Calls on Governor Seyi Makinde to Investigate LCDAs’ Alleged Corruption in World Bank-Sponsored Teachers’ Seminar

The Oyo State Obidient Movement, under the coordination of Hon. Dele Abiola, has expressed deep concern over the disturbing revelations surrounding the treatment of teachers enlisted for the World Bank and BESDA-sponsored seminar workshops in the state.

It is now a matter of public knowledge that several LCDA administrators allegedly engaged in corrupt practices by deducting a substantial portion of the stipends allocated to teachers who participated in the program. Shockingly, beyond these unlawful deductions, teachers were further compelled to pay ₦2,500 each to their zonal coordinators as a so-called “appreciation fee.”

An anonymous source also revealed that during the first batch of the program, enlisted teachers received tablets and power banks provided by the World Bank in partnership with BESDA to enhance effective teaching. However, the distribution of these devices for the second and third batches was handed over to LCDA authorities, many of whom allegedly manipulated the process by removing original names from the list and replacing them with others.

Furthermore, when stipends were disbursed to the LCDAs, the amounts meant for individual teachers were reportedly slashed, in clear violation of the program’s guidelines and the principles of accountability.

In light of these alarming reports, the Oyo State Obidient Movement is calling on Governor Engr. Seyi Makinde to urgently investigate these allegations and ensure that any LCDA administrator found culpable is brought to book. Failure to act swiftly, the Movement warns, could tarnish the reputation of his administration and undermine public trust in governance.
