LABOUR PARTY PRESS RELEASE: STOP THE POLITICAL DESECRATION OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION — A WARNING TO THE "YAYI TEACHERS MEDIA GROUP"

LABOUR PARTY, OGUN STATE CHAPTER

DATE: March 21, 2026

 STOP THE POLITICAL DESECRATION OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION: A WARNING TO THE "YAYI TEACHERS MEDIA GROUP"*

The attention of the Ogun State Chapter of the Labour Party has been drawn to a series of misleading videos and social media campaigns orchestrated by a group styling itself as the "YAYI Teachers Media Group." This group claims to represent the collective voice of teachers in Ogun State in support of the gubernatorial ambitions of Senator Solomon Olamilekan (Yayi) under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

We find it necessary to set the record straight and protect the "good citizens of Ogun State" from this orchestrated campaign of misinformation.

1. *Misleading the Public*

The nomenclature "YAYI Teachers Media Group" is a deliberate attempt to create a false impression that the noble teachers of Ogun State—both in public and private service—have abandoned their neutrality to become political appendages of a partisan interest. This is a gross insult to the thousands of teachers who remain committed to their professional ethics.

2. *Violation of Extant Civil Service Rules*

The Labour Party wishes to remind the promoters of this group that Public Servants (including public school teachers) are strictly governed by laws that forbid partisan political campaigning while in active service.  

Ogun State Public Service Rules (PSR): Specifically, Rules 04401, 04402, and 04406 prohibit civil servants from participating in partisan political activities, attending political rallies, or acting as "canvassers" for candidates.

National Precedent: In 2016, the Ogun State Civil Service Commission sanctioned several workers for similar partisan displays during the World Teachers Day celebration, citing these exact rules.  

Professional Misconduct: Under Nigerian Educational Law, engaging in activities that bring the profession into disrepute or violate the neutrality of the classroom is a ground for disciplinary action, ranging from suspension to outright dismissal.

3. *The Constitutional Boundary*

While we acknowledge the Supreme Court’s ruling in INEC vs. Musa (2003) regarding the right of association, the law is clear: a public servant's right to belong to a party does not grant them the right to use their professional identity (as "Ogun Teachers") to conduct public campaigns. Partisanship in the discharge of duty is a "red line" that maintains the stability of our democracy.

4. *Our Call to Action*

To the Head of Service and Ministry of Education: We call on the Ogun State Government to investigate the individuals behind the "YAYI Teachers Media Group." If they are indeed public servants, they must be held accountable to the Civil Service Rules to prevent the total collapse of discipline in our schools.

To Our Teachers: Do not allow yourselves to be used as political shields. Your reward should not just be in heaven, but also in a state that respects your professional boundaries today.

To the General Public: Disregard these videos. They do not represent the silent majority of educators who are more concerned with the dwindling standards of education and their welfare than with the 2027 ambitions of any politician.

The Labour Party remains the only platform committed to the true empowerment of workers and the restoration of dignity to the classroom.

Signed,

Apagun Olaolu Samuel

The Council, which remains the highest decision-making organ of the Party after the National Convention, reviewed recent developments within the Party. This included the recent unfortunate invasion of the Party Secretariat by hoodlums allegedly sponsored by certain rogue elements.

Following a thorough review of the report and recommendations of the Peace, Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committee, chaired by Comrade Salisu Mohammed (BOT Secretary), NEC invoked its disciplinary powers and approved the suspension of the following members for acts of indiscipline, anti-party activities, and complicity in the desecration of the Party's National Secretariat: Eneyi G.

Arabanbi, Umar Faruk Ibrahim, Auwal Tafoki, and Obiora Ifoh.

NEC further ratified and approved the ongoing expansion of the Party’s membership register through a hybrid approach - Digital Membership Registration (e-registration) alongside manual registration in rural communities. This initiative is aimed at modernizing the Party’s database, strengthening participatory democracy, and enhancing transparency and efficiency in Party administration, in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026.

Additionally, NEC resolved that all existing vacancies within Party structures shall be filled through the appointment of interim leadership to ensure continuity in administration. The National Leadership has been duly empowered to make such appointments, which will remain in acting capacity pending the conduct of substantive congresses in accordance with the Party Constitution and approved timetable.

The Council also urged members to utilize the Party’s internal dispute resolution mechanisms to address grievances, thereby promoting unity and minimizing internal conflicts.

Finally, NEC welcomed the recent judgment of the Federal High Court affirming the leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman as Interim National Chairman. The Council passed a vote of confidence on her leadership, the Interim National Working Committee, the BOT, leadership of the NLC, leadership of the TUC, and the leadership of Governor Alex Otti. NEC also commended INEC for its prompt compliance with the court’s pronouncement.

ADC Crisis: Why Appeal Court Sacked David Mark and Aregbesola, Labour Party May remain the only option for 2027

Nigeria's Court of Appeal removes David Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Adensoji Aregbesola  as national chairman and National Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the Court affirms Nafiu Bala as the authentic leader of the opposition party.

The development has since sparks political reactions as Bala is widely regarded as an ally of the Nigeria's incumbent president Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressive Congress.

The APC leadership has been in charge of the country since 2015, failed to tackles the insecurity as the regime has been involving in negotiations with the terrorists that have been ravaging the country since 2009.

The crisis rocking opposition political parties including the Labour Party (LP), People's Democratic Party (PDP) and lately African Democratic Congress (ADC) are all linked to the desperate moves of the pro Terrorists Bola Tinubu led APC Government.

On ADC litigation, the Court of Appeal (Nigeria) has reportedly removed former Senate President, David Mark, as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), affirming Nafiu Bala as the authentic leader of the party. Many believed Nafiu Bala was bankrolled by the presidency to cause distablisation the coalition of the political oligarchy aiming to use the platform in 2027.

The appellate court ruling is said to have resolved a leadership crisis that had divided the party, with the judges recognising Bala as the legitimate national chairman with authority to manage the party’s affairs..

The judgment is already generating reactions within political circles, as analysts believe the decision could reshape the internal structure of the ADC and influence its political direction in the coming months. The development has also attracted attention due to Bala’s perceived political closeness to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a factor observers say could affect future political alignments.

As of the time of filing this report, David Mark had not issued an official response to the ruling. The judgment may trigger further legal or political steps from factions that previously backed Mark’s leadership.

With the court affirming Bala as chairman, it's believe the party may now move to stabilise its leadership after months of internal disagreements while stakeholders monitor how different factions within the party respond to the verdict.

The ambition of the former Vice President Alhaj Atiku Abubakar, former Governor of Anambra State Mr. Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi to clinch the presidential Ticket of the party might have hit a dead luck depending on the direction of Snafu leadership.

The Labour Party has recently emerged as a platform free of crisis following both the supreme court judgement and an Abuja Court court affirming the leadership of the Distinguished Senator Nenadi Esther Usman as the Authentic leadership that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must deal with. While the PDP is believed to have been taken over by the pro Tinubu ally Wike.

The Labour Party may be the only alternative political platform for all the opposition as far as the 2027 general elections may be concerned.

Labour Party Submits New Dates For Ward, Local Government, State Congresses, National Convention To INEC

The opposition Labour Party has submitted new dates for the Ward, Local Government, State Congresses and the National Convention of the the Party to the Nigeria's electoral umpire the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to the new schedule sent to the INEC by the Senator Nenadi Esther Usman led National Working Committee of the party for theq congresses and national convention, the Ward and Local Government Congresses will hold on 26 and 28th March, 2026.

The State Congress is scheduled for 31st March, 2026. The National Convention will  hold on the 11th of April, 2026.

While the party leadership scheduled the congresses and the National Convention, reliable sources confirmed that the Julius Abure and Alhaj Lamidi Apapa camps are also orchestrating plans to stage a comeback through the Congress.

One of the source informed that some of the states Chairmen loyal to Abure addressed his few followers that are still with him that the party was no longer with them but they have only congresses to wait for to stage surprise comeback most especially at the Ward, local and State level.

The ball is the court of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman led National Working Committee of the Labour Party to allow the traders and negotiators to take the party back from them through a back door after years of crisis and legal battles.

PRESS RELEASE: INEC'S CONCERNS REGARDING THE STATUS OF OUR STATE EXECUTIVES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED

The attention of the leadership of the Labour Party has been drawn to a letter currently in circulation from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in which the Commission drew the Party’s attention to the fact that an earlier letter notifying it of the Party’s intention to dissolve the Interim State Working Committees appointed in December 2025, following conflicts and contestations with parallel State Executives purportedly elected in December by an illegitimate leadership of the Party, did not meet the statutory notice period required for such a meeting.

Following the communication from INEC, the leadership of the Party has, in full compliance with the Party’s Constitution, the Electoral Act, and the relevant INEC guidelines, taken all the necessary steps to conclusively address the concerns raised by the Commission.

Ordinarily, the Party chose to ignore the beer-parlour gossip being peddled by some discredited former members of the Party concerning the said letter by INEC. However, in view of the numerous inquiries from Party members across the federation and other stakeholders seeking clarification on the true position of affairs, we consider it necessary to issue this statement.

The Labour Party wishes to inform the general public that those attempting to recycle and regurgitate the old INEC letter are disgruntled and politically irrelevant former members of the Party who are desperately clutching at every available straw in a futile effort to create confusion and mislead the public.

The Party therefore urges members of the public and our teeming supporters across the country to continue to actively participate in the ongoing membership revalidation and new registration exercise. Party members are also encouraged to prepare for the forthcoming Party Congresses and National Convention as scheduled.

While urging members of the public and the media to disregard the antics of certain mischievous elements who continue to shamelessly throw tantrums in public, the Labour Party, under the able leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman, wishes to reassure its members that the current leadership remains focused, on course, and will not be distracted by the fringe activities of a few discredited individuals.

CLARIFICATION ON INEC RESPONSE TO LABOUR PARTY MATTER

6th March, 2026

The attention of members and supporters of the Labour Party has been drawn to various interpretations regarding the recent response from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) concerning the dissolution of Ward, Local Government and State Executives of the party.

For the avoidance of doubt, INEC’s response simply indicates that the proper constitutional procedure must be followed. This includes convening a valid National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, with the required 21-day statutory notice to INEC, and citing the relevant provisions of the Labour Party Constitution 2019 (as amended).

It is important to emphasize that the existing structures under the leadership of Julius Abure had already expired prior to the expiration of the National Working Committee (NWC) tenure on 8th June 2024.

Accordingly, the leadership of the party under the Caretaker Committee led by Nenadi Usman, with the Secretary Darlington Nwokocha, is expected to follow the due process by convening a NEC meeting to obtain the necessary resolutions which INEC can lawfully implement.

Members of the party and the general public are therefore advised not to panic, as the matter is procedural and will be addressed in accordance with the party’s constitution and democratic principles.

State Chairman

Nenadi Vs Abure: Sir Dele Abiola Meets Atayese in his Den

It was a surprise and unbelievable event that the Oyo State Interim Chairman of the Labour Party Sir Dele Abiola could just lead a handful of his interim team to the den of the former Chairman of the party Mr Sodiq Tunji (Atayese) who is still holding on as the chairman of the party regardless of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman appointment of the interim committee for many of the states of the federation.

Earlier on 2nd of March, a letter had been dispatched to Atayese demanding for the official handing over of whatever party's assets and liabilities under his care to the interim state working committee. Why those at the office refused to collect the the dispatched letter in his behalf, a soft copy was sent to Atayese via is WhatsApp number. He acknowledged the receipt of it. By yesterday 4th of March, it was agreed that they can both meet today at the party Secretariat under the control of Atayese believing that he will never come or perhaps he would have been there with thugs to take over the party secretariat from them by force.

At the brief meeting that lasted for more that one hour, after introductions of his entourages, sir Dele Abiola notified the Atayese team of the existence of the Interim State Working Committee of the Labour Party and demanded for the Handing Over of Party's assets and liabilities to his interim leadership.

The former Chairman who acknowledged the ascendance of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman as the National Chairman of the Labour Party via the judgement of an Abuja High Court maintained that the Supreme Court had ruled that matters of political parties are internal matters but agreed to follow due process. He also affirmed that he has been in contact through one of the Nenadi' deputies.

Sodiq Tunji Atayese maintained that he has conducted Congress in Oyo State and was witnessed by the INEC officials in the state.

With many occasional threats to let loose the gate of hell on the visitors, even with many unprintable words and bewilderment, Atayese and many others in the meeting wondered and salute the courage of the interim Chairman Sir Dele Abiola to have dare to come to their den.

Atayese team also asked whether their was any letter from senator Nenadi Usman requesting them to hand over the party Secretariat. He said even of there is or was any letter of appointment, that is null and void. 

However , it can be deduced that as much as he and his team believed that there can be upturn of the High Court Judgement that enthroned Nenadi in the appeal, he also is ready and has been making efforts to align with the party's National Working Committee through those around the National Chairman just to retain the party structures in the State just has his loyalty shifted from Alhaj Lamidi Apapa to Mr. Julius Abure in desperate determination to retain the party's platform for usual negotiations with the highest bidders.

Sir Dele Abiola in responding to all the vituperation, said the Interim State Working Committee will notify the national of all their concerns and questions and that due process devoid of illegality will be followed to put the party back in lines.

Against all expectations, the meeting ended with the two sides taking several pictures. The security officer of the State Security Service were present.

Papa Mama Pikin... LABOUR PARTY SHALL RISE AGAIN! - Tony Akeni

Yesterday, Wednesday February 25, 2026, the national leadership of Labour Party, the NLC, TUC 36 states and Abuja Political Committee heads of the two umbrella trade centres of Nigeria and stakeholders of the party held an extraordinary summit in Abuja.

The theme of the summit was "Re-uniting the Labour Family: Consolidating Strength for Political Impact."

Comprising two sessions of impactive, constructive and fruitful engagements, the first session held at the party's National headquarters in Utako where two highlights took the front burner: reconciliation of all members and varied persuasions of the Labour Party towards the success of the party's oncoming nationwide congresses and national convention. 

To support the huge nationwide exercise, a flagship dedicated App for membership registration and revalidation was demonstrated by a consultant firm for stakeholders feedback towards achieving a seamless multi-component online infrastructure for the task.  

In a display of disarming humility, earnestness and candour uncommon with politicians of this age, the Caretaker National Chairman of the party, Sen. Nenadi Usman, called out to all and sundry, in sync and hitherto aggrieved, to return to their first love, the Papa-Mama-Pikin ideological market square which the Labour Party represents for Nigerian workers, long suffering masses and citizens of all classes towards making the party great again.

Siting Comrade Tony Akeni at the event, the NLC backed Acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party standing with her media aide, the impeccable gentleman Barr. Ken Asogua, Sen. Nenadi came over with a hilarious mother fanfare and told everyone: "This is Tony, the troubler of Israel."

Amidst having a good laugh at her Ahab jab,  I pledged right away on the spot and meant it, "Dear Madam Chair," I said, "I will never trouble your Israel again. From now I shall trouble Egypt alone for your sake." That sank well with everyone and was the cause of the laughter you see in the photo above.

Be it known here forward that Labour Party is now one undivided and indivisible political family as we head for nationwide state congresses and national convention of our party in fulfilment of the long stalled consent judgment of Justice Gabriel Kolawole delivered since March 18, 2020. A turn-point judgment and task which the defunct Julius Abure council had defied and refused to honour for six years. Now Sen. Esther Usman Nenadi is all set to accomplish that with flare and flourish in the foreseeable few months down the corner.

Join the party!

Join the hearty.

PRESS RELEASE: LABOUR PARTY HOLDS RECONCILIATION MEETING IN OGUN STATE, MOVES TOWARD UNITY

Date: 24th February,2026 

Venue:NLC State Secretariat, Abeokuta 

The Ogun State Chapter of the Labour Party (LP) wishes to inform the general public and our esteemed members of a significant development in our efforts to foster unity and strengthen the party ahead of future electoral challenges.

Following the recent judgments of the Court of Appeal, the leadership of our great party, under the distinguished leadership of the Deputy National Chairman (South), Mrs. Temidayo Nike Oriola Job, convened a crucial reconciliation meeting with stakeholders in Ogun State. The meeting, held on 19th February,2026, brought together members of the Ogun State Interim Executive and other party faithful who, subsequent to the court rulings, have aligned with the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Executive Committee (NEC).

During the session, it was acknowledged that there were periods of intense legal battles where party members found themselves on different sides, as well as others who left the fold to aligned with other political party. It was noted that some members who are now converts to the Nenadi Usman-led Exco had, during the heat of the court cases, reported their fellow party members to security agencies (including the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services) for impersonation, even as the now-dispersed Julius Abure leadership for declaring support for the Nenadi Usman faction.

In her characteristic spirit of inclusive leadership, the Deputy National Chairman (South), Mrs. Temidayo Nike Oriola, urged all parties to embrace one another and bury the hatchet. She emphasized that the Labour Party must move beyond the acrimony of the past and present a united front to the people of Ogun State.

As a concrete step towards enduring peace, the leadership has directed that a harmonized reconciliation committee be formed. Both sides involved in the dispute have been mandated to submit a list of nine (9) members each, making a total of eighteen (18) members. This committee will be inaugurated to oversee the formal reconciliation process and ensure that all grievances are permanently laid to rest.

As the Publicity Secretary of the Ogun State Labour Party, I urge all our members to cooperate with this initiative. The Labour Party remains the vehicle for the hopes and aspirations of the masses, and we cannot afford to be distracted by internal conflicts. We are committed to rebuilding, reconciling, and emerging stronger.

We thank our leaders, members, and the press for their continued support.

PRESS RELEASE: POLICE ARREST VANDALS WHO ATTEMPTED TO BREAK INTO LABOUR PARTY'S NATIONAL SECRETARIAT

The Labour Party wishes to thank the Nigerian Police for their swift response in flushing out the vandals and miscreants who attempted to break into the Labour Party National Secretariat last night. According to reports, the arrested suspects are currently assisting the police with useful information that may lead to the identification of their sponsors.

While we continue to appreciate our supporters nationwide for their vigilance at this time, the Party wishes to inform the general public that, through the timely intervention of the Nigerian Police, normalcy has since been restored at the Party Secretariat.

The Labour Party also wishes to warn certain members, particularly elements of the former leadership who allegedly attempted to desecrate the Secretariat under the cover of darkness, that the Party will no longer tolerate acts of brigandage from within its ranks. The judgment of the Nigerian court is clear and unambiguous regarding the current leadership of the Party. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has implemented this judgment by formally recognising Senator Nenadi Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Labour Party, respectively. 

Nigeria is a nation governed by laws, not a banana republic. Those rogue elements within the Party who are bent on creating unnecessary hysteria are hereby advised to desist forthwith from doing so in the name of the Labour Party.

Furthermore, beyond the hoodlums already arrested, the Labour Party calls on law enforcement authorities to immediately go after all criminal elements who are using the name of the Party to confuse and defraud unsuspecting members of the public. These charlatans, who purport to operate under the banner of the Party without proper authority, are hereby warned that the Party will no longer tolerate such criminality from any member, regardless of how highly placed.

Senator Nenadi Esther Usman Led Interim National Leadership Of Labour Party Takes Over Party's Secretariat In Abuja

 

The Senator Nenadi Esther Usman led National interim leadership of the Labour Party, on Tuesday, resumed office at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, following a court ruling which affirmed its leadership.

Usman led members of the labour Party team arrived at the party office, previously and illegally occupied by the Bar Julius Abure-led National Working Committee, at 11am Nigerian time.

Recall that the NLC/TUC backed Usman-led party leadership had had a lengthy legal battle with the Abure-led usurpers which got to the Supreme Court but was revived at the federal high which recognized her leadership of the party.

The Nigeria's Electoral Umpire Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) also affirmed her leadership recently via invitation for party meetings after uploaded the bio data of the Nenadi and her team to the INEC website as the Authentic and legally recognized Labour Party's leadership in the country.

As the first female national chairman of a major political party in Nigeria, Usman’s ascension is considered a milestone for women’s representation in politics.

The party is sets for rebuilding and reconciliation as congresses from wards , Local, states and national are already billed for March and April this year..
