Disregard Noises Of Opposition, Gov Otti Urges Abians, Says They Are Gathering For Themselves Not For Abians

Abia State Governor and National Leader of the Labour Party, Dr Alex Otti, OFR, has urged Abians to disregard the recent tantrums and gatherings of members of the opposition parties who had the opportunity to develop the State in the past but failed to do so, stating that they are gathering for their selfish interests and not for the good of the people.

Governor Otti stated this at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Umuoriehi, the Headquarters of the Abia North Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the Church building recently reconstructed by the Governor, with his personal fund. 

Otti who is the National Leader of the Labour Party in Nigeria described the gatherings of the opposition politicians in the State against him as a failed project, saying that, it is only the empty barrel that makes noise.

"Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. 

"I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it's always the empty barrel that makes the loudest noise.

"As for gathering, as recorded in Isaiah chapter 54, verse 15, it says, Behold, they will surely gather, but the gathering is not of me. And since it's not of me, what would they do? They will scatter and they will fall for your sake. That's the holy book.

"And like I've always also said, some of these people speaking have forgotten what is written in Lamentations chapter 5, verse 37. And it's a big charge. Who are you to speak when the Lord has not spoken? 

"So, nobody should worry about that. We don't even think we should dignify them with responses", Gov. Otti stated.

Governor Otti said his government would continue to do its works of changing the narratives in the State, which is more important as these politicians are not interested in the people of the State.

"We should just do what we are doing. In everything, they will not talk about you, the Abia people. They are talking about themselves.

"But they are a tiny minority. And God doesn't make mistakes. And he doesn't have an unfinished project. So, I don't want anybody to lose breath or worry about it", Gov. Otti urged the congregants.

The State Chief Executive, who clarified that he did not do all the works in the Church building but renovated an already standing building, explained that he did not do the renovation project with government 's funds.

"It's not correct to say that I did everything. I did a little part of it. The Church was standing before now.

"So, what we did was a little renovation because we wanted it to look better. 

"It's also important for me to re-emphasise and I'm sure those who know me, know that government money did not come in here. 

"We only use government money for government business. But, because we also have a second address, we're able to do the things we were doing before now. Those of you who have been here long enough will remember that sometime about 2012, that I came here and led the fundraising for the construction of the conference office there", Gov. Otti stated.

The Governor used the opportunity to announce that the activities leading to the commemoration of this year's Armed Forces Remembrance Day have commenced and would be concluded on 15th January, being the the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

Earlier in his sermon, the President, Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Abia North - Central Conference, Pastor Kennedy Ihuoma challenged the congregants to be faithful to God in all they do.

Pastor Ihuoma , who titled his sermon "Can I be a Joseph to Interpret the King's Dream", charged believers, especially those in government to be the Joseph of their time, who would be able to interpret the dreams and visions of their leaders, including Governor Alex Otti.

He narrated how the Governor worshiped in the Church and made a promise to reconstruct the Church building, from his personal funds, and was full of joy over the quality of work done in the Church building.

 

Pastor Ihuoma thanked the Governor on behalf of the Church leadership and members and prayed God to continue to bless him.

The Church dedication, which attracted many dignitaries including the member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, Hon. Obi Aguocha, members of the State House of Assembly, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, acting SSG, Dr Emmanuel Mereibeole, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba, Ph.D, among others, featured the cutting of dedication ribbon and prayers offered for the Governor and his cabinet.

Party politics: INEC, Presidency Complicits in Sustaining illegality to undermine Labour Party - Eragbe

 

Disclaimer: Tunji Sodiq is an impostor, public and Security operatives should beware - Oyo State Labour Party

It has come to the knowledge of the Oyo State Labour Party's interim State Working Committee that the former Chairman of our party Mr Tunji Sodiq (Atayese) is still parading himself as the State Chairman of our beloved party. We wish to state it clearly that he is an imposter.

The general public as well as security operatives in Oyo State and beyond should be aware.

The Oyo State Labour Party Interim Committee, under the leadership of Senator Ninandi (National interim chairman) and Hon. Dele Abiola (state interim Chairman), hereby informs the good people of Oyo State and beyond that they should not engage with the self-acclaimed bimpostor chairman, Mr. Atayese, or his so-called executives who claimed to have elected themselves through a kangaroo congress.

Atayese 

For clarity, no Congress has be conducted from the ward to local government and state level in Oyo State. Equally no directives for any Congress by the National Working Committee of the party has been given.

Mr. Atayese who previously served as the Oyo State Labour Party chairman though as the place holder for both PDP in the state and APC at the Federal level respectively, has his tenure expired. 

Additionally, the national and state executives under Julius Abure have been dissolved and disbanded by the be organs of our party ( NLC/TUC, political commission and the Labour Party Board Of trustees BOT). Just as The Supreme Court of Nigeria had also declared in it's land mark judgement 

Following this development, the NLC and TUC, who are the major stakeholders of the Labour Party, BOT and other stakeholders installed an interim National Working Committee (iNWC) under the leadership of Senator USMAN ESTHER NENADI i and recently an interim State Working Committee (iSWC) to oversee the affairs of the party and to conduct proper congresses that will produce legitimate leadership of the party in the state.

It is also important to state that a Federal High Court of Nigeria, in its ruling on October 15, restrained Abure and his cohort from conducting any congress. Therefore, any congress held in defiance of this order is contempt of court and should be considered invalid, and any leadership emerging from such unlawful activity has no legitimacy.

For the avoidance of doubt, below is the member list of the Labour Party Interim State Working Committee: 

Note:

There is no faction in the Oyo State Labour Party. There is only one authentic Interim Committee. Mr. Atayese and his gangs are impostors. No one should engage with them on any matter concerning the Labour Party.

Therefore, we also call on the different organs stakeholders of our dear party at the National, the NLC , TUC, their political commission, the Labour Party BOT and other stakeholders to also take a decisive steps and willfully rescue the party from the Barr Julius Abure led impostors. Nigerians especially the youths, students, artisans, farmers, women and many more are expecting more from Labour Party.

Thank you.

PRESS RELEASE: LABOUR PARTY SUBMITS LIST OF INTERIM STATE WORKING COMMITTEES (ISWC) TO INEC, CONSTITUTES MEMBERSHIP REVALIDATION COMMITTEE

Friday 5th December, 2025

"In line with the Constitution of the Labour Party and the resolutions of the Statutory NEC meeting held on 18th July 2025 at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, the Labour Party on 5th December 2025 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the list of State Working Committee members for 32 states of the Federation and the FCT.

The State Working Committee lists for Ondo, Ekiti, Niger, and Kwara States are currently being finalised and will be forwarded to INEC in a subsequent correspondence. The Labour Party urges party faithfuls in the affected states to remain patient as urgent steps are being taken to resolve local issues involving party leaders in these four states.

Furthermore, as part of renewed efforts to strengthen the party’s preparedness for the 2027 presidential, national, and local elections, the Labour Party has notified INEC of the constitution of a National Steering Committee for Membership Revalidation/New Registration. This committee will also oversee the national launch of the Labour Party’s Nationwide Membership Drive, codenamed Labour Party Connect 10 Million Nigerians… Connecting 10 Million Patriots for a New Nigeria.

The Membership Revalidation/New Registration exercise is chaired by His Excellency, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, Deputy Governor of Abia State, with Comrade Ladi Iliya and Dr. Kingsley Okundaye serving as Deputy Chairmen with Kamal Yusuf Ahmed as Secretary.

The Labour Party enjoins its members and teeming supporters nationwide to take full advantage of the revalidation exercise scheduled to commence on December 17, 2025 and end on January 20, 2026, in order to revalidate their membership of the party. The party also calls on Nigerians who continue to bear the brunt of the current APC government's misrule to register with the Labour Party and be part of the movement for a New Nigeria.

The Party also urges the newly constituted Interim State Working Committees to cooperate fully with the National Steering Committee for Membership Revalidation/New Registration to ensure a seamless exercise and to help the party surpass its projected target of registering 10 million members within the stipulated time frame.

The Labour Party expresses profound appreciation to the Nigerian people, especially the media, for their steadfast support during recent challenging times. We urge all Nigerians to remain vigilant, as the forces that orchestrated the past crises - now resolved by the apex court - are still lurking around.

Labour Party… Forward Ever!

Labour Party BOT: Unilateral actions of Seyi Showunmi in the Southwest must be Checked - Ogun State LP Chairman

Apagun Olaolu Samuel

Ogun State interim Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) Apagun Olaolu Samuel has called on the Labour Party Board Of Trustees to checkmate the unilateral activities of the Honourable representing Ojo Federal Constituency of LAGOS STATE Seyi Sowunmi in the South West.

According to the letter addressed to the Secretary of the BOT and made available to the media , with the exception of Ogun State which has been an integral part of NWC if the party from the beginning, Seyi Sowunmi has been unilaterally nominating members of the interim national working committee for the Southwest without proper consultation.

It's noteworthy to add that in another petition to the Nenadi Usman Led National Working Committee of the party by the Oyo State Stakeholders of the LP,  Sowunmi has also been accused of trying to supplanted the authentic Labour Party structures in some states  to set up his own State Working Committee for  the Labour Party.  

With individuals of questionable intents like Seyi Sowunmi, the party may only be moving from one crises to the other.

Below is the letter addressed to the Labour BOT Secretary:

The Secretary, 

Board of Trustee

Labour Party,

Nigeria,

Abuja.

*Petition Against Hon. Seyi Showunmi’s Unilateral Actions in the Southwest Region*

Dear Sir,

I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the unilateral political activities of Hon. Seyi Showunmi within the Southwest region. It has come to my attention that he has been nominating members of the interim national working committee for the Southwest without proper consultation, with the exception of Ogun State, which has been an integral part of our party from the beginning.

Furthermore, it is alarming that he is also presenting nominations for the state working committees without engaging with key stakeholders and local party members. He claims to represent the Southwest leadership of the Labour Party, yet his actions suggest a self-serving agenda which undermines our democratic principles.  

His antecedents in Lagos are also a clear example of his undemocratic tendencies. 

If these actions continue unchecked, we risk creating a similar situation to that of Abayomi Arabambi, wherein one individual manipulates the party framework to benefit personal interests rather than those of all party members throughout the region. It is crucial to note that Hon. Showunmi’s jurisdiction is limited primarily to his role as a House of Representatives member in the OJO Constituency in Lagos. His attempts to exert influence across the Southwest should be scrutinized before he succeeds in destabilizing the Party. 

We urge the national body to take immediate action to address these issues and ensure a fair and representative process for all nominations within the Labour Party in the Southwest. It is essential that we uphold the core values of democracy, inclusivity, and collaboration that our party represents.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,

Labour Party BOT Says Nenadi Usman Led National Working Committee Remained Dissolved, Disclaimer Statement Forged

BOT Sets to Address Live Press conference 

Source within the Labour Party BOT has confirmed that Board of the Trustees of the party (BOT) and signatories have affirmed that they stand by the dissolution of the Nenadi Usman interim national working committee of the party."

According to the source: "That the purported "disclaimer" to BOT's sack of the Nenadi Usman committee is a desperate criminal *FORGERY* by members of the defunct Nenadi Usman committee, carried out in the same criminal tradition of Julius Abure whom they accuse of forgery and perjury."

Forged Disclaimer 

  The BOT shall address a live press conference in the nearest days ahead to reaffirm the sack of the Nenadi committee, expose the criminal forgery of this disclaimer and take further actions to help Labour Party members nationwide and the Nigerian public on general separate the authentic Labour Party from criminal elements in both the Abure renegades camp and the disbanded Nenadi Usman group.

Labour Party, a major opposition political party in the 2023 general elections plunged into leadership crises may fail to be the rallying platform in the 2027 general elections as the crisis may be deepening. 

Earlier Desolation Letter 

Labour Party BOT: Disclaimer Over the Letter Dated 2nd December 2025 And Tilted Expiration Of Labour Party Interim National Working Committee (NWC) Purportedly Written By The Chairman Of The Board Of Trustees And Secretary Board Of Trustees

 

The Labour Party (LP) Board of Trustees BOT Chairman Comrade S.O.Z EJIO and Secretary Comrade Salisu Mohammed has issued a disclaimer statement against the letter in circulation on the social media domains about the dissolution of the Senator Nenadi Usman Led National Working Committee of the party.

Both the Chairman and the Secretary in letter signed by the duo today 3rd December  2025 dissociated themselves from the fake letter.

Below is the newly released letter:

Earlier Letter in Circulation:

BREAKING: Labour Party BOT Dissolve Nenadi Usman Led interim National Working Committee (iNWC)

The Labour Party (LP) Board of Trustees BOT has dissolved the Senator Nenadi Usman Led National Working Committee of the party.

In a letter that surface on the internet, signed by COMRADE S.O.Z. EJIO and  COMRADE SALISU MOHAMMED as the Chairman and Secretary of the party's BOT respectively, notify the interim leadership of the expiration and dissolution of the of the body 

The letter Titled EXPIRATION OF LABOUR PARTY INTERIM NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE (iNWC) reads in part.

The Board of Trustees (BOT) and National Executive Council (NEC) members, custodians and guardians

of the Labour Party of Nigeria, hereby notify you of the expiration and dissolution of the interim National Working Committee (iNWC) of the Labour Party headed by Sen. Nenadi Esther Usman as interim National Chairman and Sen. Nwaokocha Darlington as interim National Secretary.

The statutory NEC of the party will meet in due course to constitute a new National Working Committee in accordance with the party's constitution and the Electoral Act 2022.

This action is taken to save the Labour Party from further derailment, nationwide desertion and the destruction of Nigeria workers' last hope to rescue our country to the path of progress through true democratic governance.

You will recall that a three months (90 days) time frame was given to your committee on September 4,  2024 at Umuahia, Abia state, to organize nationwide congresses and national convention to elect substantive  of our party nationwide, but failed to achieve the said objectives after over 400 days or well more than a year. 

In spite of this failure, the statutory NEC meeting of the Labour Party, which held on July 18, 2025 at 

Transcorp Hotel, Abuja, re-appointed you to lead the INWC of the party for another period of 90 days to accomplish the same task. This time frame elapsed again on October 17, 2025 without achieving our party's ultimate goal of fruitful participation in all elections of the country during the period and the forthcoming 2027 general elections of Nigeria, the overwhelming incompetence of the dissolved NWC resulting in party members' plunging loss of faith and unabated desertion of our party nationwide to other political parties. 

Subsequent to the above, you are hereby requested to halt every activity in the name of the Labour Party and handover all documents of the party in your possession to the secretary of the Board of Trustees (BOT). 

While thanking you for your contributions in the past, we wish you well in your future endeavours and remain with best regards.

Hopefully, this will be a way forward and not another step towards more distablisation of the party .

What do you think?
