LABOUR PARTY PRESS STATEMENT: OPEN NOTE TO DEJI ADEYANJU — AMBITION WITHOUT PRINCIPLE IS WORSE THAN SUBSTANCE ABUSE

LABOUR PARTY PRESS STATEMENT: OPEN NOTE TO DEJI ADEYANJU — AMBITION WITHOUT PRINCIPLE IS WORSE THAN SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Deji Adeyanju & Prince Tony 

Substance abuse go far beyond narcotics intake, meth, _colos,_ heroin or other cerebrum invading and dementing hard drugs. 

Ambition without principle is worse than substance abuse. Any mental activity conceived in the labyrinths of ambition-damaged mind which distorts rational thinking and actions, either at a cost to the individual or to society at large, is as dangerous or more dangerous than substance abuse. 

These include uncontrollable drive for material acquisitions instead of society serving legacy, typical of officials of the ruling administration. It accounts for the pathologically obsessive attack rabies Deji Adeyanju harbours in his blood streams against His Excellency Peter Obi.

When ambition is unbridled and abused, blackmail becomes a strategy. The French social philosopher Oscar Wilde captured this when he wrote: "Ambition is the last refuge of the failure." George MacDonald was even closer home on Deji Adeyanju about greed driven hatred in his defining words: "Ambition is the evil shadow of aspiration."

Learning from mentors, Daniel Bwala and Reno Omokri

With the advent of the emilokan Presidency in 2023, Deji has learned crucial financial lessons. He learnt from his new mentors, the once merciless scorners and critics of President Tinubu, Daniel Bwala, the president's Special Adviser on Media & Public Communications, and Reno Omokri, the lynch pin of Nigeria's stomach infrastructure pseudo-critics. 

Deji learned that the shortest route to Tinubu's lake of federal treasury, bloated by the removal of subsidy, is to volunteer bootlicking services in either Tinubu's sycophancy orchestra or enlist in his infantry of attack dogs trained for the jugulars of APC's opposition leaders, chief of whom is Mr. Peter Obi. 

It is therefore not difficult to understand why, over the last several months, Deji Adeyanju frequently digs into Omokri's and Bwala's bags of heathen lies and blackmail manuals in pursuit of Tinubu's pockets and Tinubu's support for Deji's 2027 ambitions. 

One will, however, advise that Deji should not let the lures of corrupt administration politicians acquiring estates, plazas and mansions all over the capital and countryside make him succumb to unbridled ambitions for same.

Appointment or wealth by blackmail of the Labour Party's presidential phenom, Mr. Peter Obi, should not blind him to the true depths of the multi-dimensional sufferings of the Nigerian people on whose behalf he once claimed to be an activist for good governance, neither the excruciating urgency for the rescue of the Nigerian nation from second colonization by the ruling APC.

A good Nigerian 

Fortunately, there are still good Nigerians contrary to the view that holds otherwise. Fair-minded and upright citizens who do not need inducement, personal benefit or bribe to stand up for the truth.

One such Nigerian, Mr. Ike Abonyi, a reputable journalist and author, was present in July 2022 when the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, His Excellency Peter Obi, in his uncommon humility, simplicity and amity, met Deji Adeyanju for a mutual conversation about their political interests in the 2023 elections. This involved Obi running for Nigeria's Presidency on the platform of the Labour Party, and Deji for the Abuja Municipal Federal Constituency seat in the National Assembly potentially also on the platform of the Labour Party. 

It was Mr. Abonyi, a common friend of both Obi and Deji, who brokered and witnessed the meeting from its first minute to the end. With a rational, psychologically stable individual, it was the kind of privileged private conversation between two citizens that ought to have been treasured and kept that way eternally. But not so with Deji. Instead Deji turned it into a feedstock of garbage fiction for his imaginary social media empire. 

On his part Abonyi has since publicly attested that not one moment in the entire meeting which he moderated was Obi involved in any act or confession of corruption involving investing Anambra state's money in his private family business while he was governor of the state. Deji has not countered or contradicted him.

Traditional "welcome" kola, logistics goodwill

In most parts of Nigeria and many African societies, it is age-old tradition to offer a guest the traditional kola nut fruit, complemented with supporting physical cash called "wedge" down south. Where the kola nut is not available, the custom is these days commonly monetized.

In modern times, this tradition has expanded into logistics goodwill, and sometimes affinity empathy where a host extends money support to a visitor that may have travelled some distance or denied himself other activities of the day to visit a host, especially a financially well-off host.

It is not called bribe but custom because it is not given to cover up, solicit or co-opt the visitor into an act of corruption, crime investigation or scandal. 

Thus, even if, without conceding, Peter Obi had offered Deji Adeyanju a physical kola nut or the monetized version of the custom, it is not an act of corruption but a courtesy of custom.

It therefore amounts to an extremely malevolent, duplicitous and despicable misrepresentation of an African tradition for Deji to convert the gesture to an arsenal of political blackmail as Deji has notoriously set out to do against Peter Obi before the world. 

To garnish his fairy tale with a facade of credulity in his double-down on a Channels TV interview, Deji added that during the conversation with Peter Obi, Obi confessed to him that he invested Anambra state funds in his private family business, the bases upon which Deji accuses and defames Peter Obi as "corrupt." An illogical, infantile, apparent concoction.

However, from all over Nigeria and far beyond our borders, the Labour Party is delighted with and thankful for the feedback we are receiving from millions of Nigerians on Deji's self-immolating tinder of lies.

Nigerians are asking: what did His Excellency Peter Obi give Deji a "bribe" envelope for, two months after winning his own Presidential ticket of the Labour Party at Asaba? Was it to help Deji bribe his way through party primaries over which Obi had no control and did not assert one? 

What, in Deji's poorly woven imagination, led Obi to confess to him that as governor he dipped his hands into Anambra state treasury? Was it for forgiveness of sins because at that time Deji was the in-house catechist of Anambra Government House Chapel and Treasury?

Deji knows this.

In every election of Nigeria since 2023 to date, Tinubu sets the tone for violent brigandage, killings and mayhem against opposition voters and citizens throughout Nigeria. 

The traumatic memory of countless pro-Obi voters lynched, bloodied and some gunned to death, including pregnant victims and housewives during the 2023 elections are still fresh. This anomaly has been emphatically entrenched as the norm in Nigeria's elections especially following Tinubu's political philosophy of "snatch, grab and run" away with ballot results and power. Deji Adeyanju knows this.

On the contrary, all over the country, rightfully loud and strident against bad governance, members of Peter Obi's Obidient movement peacefully type their views on public governance, protests and dissenting opinions from keyboards and digital space from the quiet of their homes. They do not bear guns, hurt a soul or kill. Deji  knows this.

On the other hand, Tinubu's APC youths and zealots run wild committing mayhem, murder, myriad havoc and life threatening violence against dissenting voices all over the country, especially during election activities. Deji Adeyanju knows this. 

On November 24, 2024, over mere NURTW drivers union election conflict, a conflict over which the Appeal Court of Nigeria had already delivered judgment against President Tinubu supported faction of MC Oluomo, thugs of the President's violence and mayhem generalissimo, Oluomo, audaciously stormed in broad day the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) headquarters in Utako. 

Armed with guns and other dangerous weapons, MC Oluomo's thugs broke into the NUJ headquarter conference hall where the Appeal Court victorious drivers faction were holding a press meeting. 

The thugs seized and beat up everyone within their grip, violently chased out the participants and in the process destroyed the cameras and equipment of several journalists who were covering the event. A felony committed with impunity before the eyes and right in the hive of the Nigerian press. Adeyanju knows this.

Yet Deji obsessively and frequently but wrongly label the peaceful Obidient movement of Peter Obi as an unruly, abusive and intolerant body, as he disingenuously depicted in his recent Channels TV interview. Only sheer hypocrisy and his vaulting narcotics-like ambition to join Reno Omokri and Daniel Bwala for Tinubu's employment, contract or consultancy showers can be responsible for that.

Otherwise, how could Deji switch his once copiously confessed preference for the benevolent dove personality, sterling economic intelligence and towering character content of Peter Obi whom Deji has hailed numerous times as the best presidential choice in the entire country, suddenly switch preference and campaign for President Tinubu whose violent supporters massacre voters and send some to early graves in virtually every election since 2023?

2027: Between Politics, Ambition And Country First I — Pro Chris

2027: Between Politics, Ambition And Country First I — Pro Chris

No comments

With the flurry of politicians indicating interest to run for the high office of President come 2027, and the incumbency of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidency, one would expect Politicians to prioritize the call to put Country before individual politics and ambition.


If we agree that the present watch has done badly, and continues to lower all known leadership bars. If we agree that Nigerians are poorer and hungrier today than before. If we agree that the present government is spending far more resources with far less impact than previous administrations. If we agree that corruption under the present administration has become intractable and Olympic. If we agree that BAT and his Team are largely uneventful, underwhelming and underperforming. If we agree that Nigeria needs urgent redemptive surgical attention. If we agree that except something drastic and urgent is done to save Nigeria now, we are all in trouble. And if we agree that Statesmen must be concerned about the next generation and not just the next election, then we must rise above individualistic politics and ambition, and put Country First.


In one week I have been inundated with calls and messages about the way forward for our nation. I understand that I should attend to my health for which I'm about 10,712 Kilometres far away, but my Country is also of great importance, and our politics ditto our leadership recruiting protocol equally important. What must we therefore do to salvage Nigeria?


Where are the Patriots, where are the Statesmen, where is the league of well-meaning and public spirited citizens, and where are those who truly want a Nigeria that works for all? Yes, this is a clarion call to Countrymen and women, we must rise up and challenge for the soul of our Country. We must ask politicians to stop trading with our destiny as a people and as a nation. We must decide now to hew out of the present stone of despair a nation that cares for her citizenry. We must call out those seeking the high office of President come 2027, we must insist that they come together, that they work together, and that they all elect to support and work with the most formidable 'candidate' that can trounce Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Polls come 2027. We must berth a Ballot Based People's Revolution NOT a Bullet Based one which the underperformers are almost making plausible.


The present challenge is more than individual politics and ambition, it is about Nigeria. The challenge is more than ethnicity, geography and or religion, it is about our collective well-being. The challenge calls for strategic engagement, it demands that we cease henceforth to agonize and proceed to organize, for only through concerted deliberateness can we save Nigeria from the rampaging buccaneers and soulless Power-mongers that prey on our collective patrimony.


Do not allow those who prey on our fault lines to determine what happens in 2027. Do not allow those whose god is money play with the future of our Country. Do not side with men and women of ambition whose conscience is dead to our collective humanity to determine our morrow. And do not believe that WE, THE PEOPLE cannot break the chains of wickedness that they have woven over our Dear Nation. Do not forget that the Power of the People is stronger and mightier than the power of those in power.


Folks, because I must have you follow, enjoy, internalize and critique this series, I must make it short and reader friendly, I pray that I am able to do so.


I shall duel on the potential aspirants, their politics, their passion, their ambition, 'the persona' and their humanity, and hope that together we can decide on the best person for the high office of President. And this promises to be a long series surely.


God Bless Nigeria.

PRESS STATEMENT: DON'T TRY IT! LABOUR PARTY WARNING TO RMAFC ON PROPOSED SALARY INCREASE FOR POLITICIANS

PRESS STATEMENT: DON'T TRY IT! LABOUR PARTY WARNING TO RMAFC ON PROPOSED SALARY INCREASE FOR POLITICIANS

No comments

Prince Tony

By Prince Tony Akeni, National Publicity Secretary (Interim), Labour Party, Thursday August 21, 2025


This press briefing is to serve the sternest warning to the chairman of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu. 


Every Tinubu minister and head of agency wants to leave government in 2027 richer than Dangote, but not necessarily through hard work and industry. The chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for his personal benefits, appears to have joined the list as the latest addition to Nigeria's unfortunate story of the insensitivity of government and its agencies to the hydra-headed plights of Nigeria's citizens. 


On Monday August 18, 2025 Mohammed Shehu woke up on the wrong side of his bed and decided to take his own pound of flesh from the long suffering but pliant Nigerian people by adding his own dimension of nightmares to the treasury bunkering of the ruling APC government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 


You will recall that in a press conference he held in Abuja on the aforementioned date, the fiscal allocation commission's chairman served Nigerians a menu of fallacies to insult the intelligence of Nigerians by claiming that all Mr. President receives for his office in an entire year is a paltry #18million at a salary of #1.5million per month, while his ministers receive #1million per month or #12million per annum. This mischievous and obnoxious lie of figure juggling was corroborated by the CBN Governor, Mr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso, who, according to unrefuted information in the public domain, enjoys unheard-of Eldorado luxury living which, beside his monumental monthly salary, includes a #1b (one billion naira) annual housing allowance and $15million or #24billion global flight tickets and single-handedly appointed a bevy of lady consultants who receive #35million and #50million per month, (not per year). For avoidance of doubts, two of the bevy who receive these Olympian and outrageous salaries in the office of the Nigerian CBN Governor, according to the unchallenged reports, are Ms. Daphne Dafinone and Ms. Nkiru Balonwu who is facing EFCC investigations for alleged egregious financial conduct. 


The above infantile Disneyland story of the RMAFC's chairman, Mr. Shehu Mohammed, is further starkly contradicted by the fact that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's wife has suddenly, after 2023 swearing-in of Tinubu, found fortune which enables her to donate to events as much as #1billion in a single occasion when her husband receives a miserable paltry sum of #18million per annum as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


When we say every actor of fortune under the Tinubu-APC maladministration is out to out-Dangote Dangote by the time the Labour Party and the good people of Nigeria boot them out of office in 2027, it is both a moral and institutional duty that we supply background to prove our assertion. I urge all Nigerians to join our party follow the trail of this locust swarm called APC by reading this to the end and rising to act.


We shall forerun our engagement of the chairman of the revenue allocation commission and his campaign for salary increase for politicians with the facts and figures of epic public finance abuses we present below to help Nigerians reflect, evaluate afresh and to stand up against the dangers posed to their lives by the current APC administration. The chronicle of government promoted corruption among heads of agencies which the Labour Party delivers below are for just 2025, and the year is still running.


1. In the 2025 Federal Government budget figure of #54.99trillion signed into law on February 8, 2025, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, needed to buy a nuclear station that produces electricity for the common good of Nigerians. So, he inserted an amount that will cost Nigerians #266million per street light; an unseen type of streetlight that would probably come with a Maikano power plant and a piece of the sun each. The APC rubber-stamp Senate of Mr. Godswill Akpabio approved it. When yam falls into a palm oil bowl, what do you expect? The above budget for mere streetlights was in addition to Minister Bagudu tucking into the 2025 budget what BudgIT, the public finance tracking agency, called "ghost projects" amounting to #6.93 trillion.


2. On June 10, 2025, the APC's FCT sheriff, Minister Nyesom Wike re-commissioned the now re-named Abuja International Conference Centre after a solo renovation cost submission of #39billion. The renovation went through contract award without competitive biddings required by Nigeria's Due Process laws. This is an amount of money that would have built for Nigerians a minimum of nine modern equiped health centres in each state of the federation or approximately three health centres in every senatorial district of Nigeria, including Abuja FCT. To comfort Nigerians for their pains and complaints, Nyesom Wike has been singing the lullaby to the public against critics' umbrage that the conference centre, which is actually a ghosts' haven 90% of the year, is now churning mountainous revenues into the coffers of the government after its renovation, and that it is fully booked up to 2027. Of course, it is fully booked by ghosts for ghost activities. 


Meanwhile, in contrast to Minister Wike's #39billion windfall for a conference hall renovation, only #10billion was budgeted for Nigeria's entire land border security covering 4,047 kilometers, a whopping #150billion was set on fire to purchase a used presidential jet for President Tinubu and another #5billion for an idle presidential yacht. 


3. On June 11, 2025, the Minister of Agriculture, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, approved a portion of the ministry's 2025 budget of #636billion for a fasting and prayer programme for all its staff to boost agriculture and vanquish hunger in Nigeria. The circular to all staff on this epic event summoned staff to come to work fasting for "a solemn session for God's guidance and success in supporting the (Tinubu) government's efforts to achieve food security." Nigerians, where on earth except APC's Nigeria is modern mechanized farming and food security attained through budget financed prayers and fasting? Is this also the model for governance of nations which China, Japan, Singapore, The Netherlands, Israel, even war-torn Ukraine and other successful Agric pillared economies used to achieve food security?


4. On August 5, 2025, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, dutifully molested Nigerians' ear drums with the news of renovating Lagos Airport at a cost of #712billion or $447million. Again, this airport could be renovated fit and proper to world standard with a much smaller fraction of that cost with ample room to build a maternity annex in the peri-urban communities of every of Nigeria's 774 local government council areas.   


5. On August 14, 2025, the APC Works Minister, Engr. David Umahi, ruthlessly shocked Nigerians by announcing that his ministry needed #3.6trillion to demolish and build, brand new from scratch, the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos or, ironically, a higher amount of #3.8trillion to repair the existing one. What Minister David Umahi is audaciously asking to renovate the Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 1.97% or nearly 2% of Nigeria's entire 2025 federal government budget. Let us take stock.


i. The Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 11.8km long, and has insignificant physical obstacles by marine engineering standards, which involve mere water depths ranging from two to ten meters, the deepest point, it is said, being at the entrance of the Commodore Channel. 


ii. The longest bridge in the world, the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (DKG Bridge) is 168.8km. Considerable engineering obstacles to its construction involved about 150 river channels. Additionally, it had to be designed with ferro-concrete bastions to support the famous Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway which intercepts it.


iii. The cost of constructing the DKG Bridge of 168.8km was $8.5b or #13trillion. This brought the average cost of one kilometer to #79billion. Nigeria's Minister David Umahi's cost of $2.35b for mere 11.8km brings the average cost of one kilometer of his 3rd Mainland Bridge to $198.8m or #305b. This is 3.8 times or nearly 400% higher than China's DKG Bridge. It is ok to aspire to be as rich or to out-rich Dangote, but Labour Party insists that it should not be at the death of Nigerians through phantom budgets and corruption facilitated mass burials.


6. Before the above, Nigeria's PDP and APC governments from 1999 to 2023 had burnt $18b in refurbishing and rehabilitation claims of the country's three refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. In less than 15 months of being sworn into office, Tinubu and his APC cabinet set another $2.8 on fire on a failed wild goose rehabilitation scheme which was sold to the Nigerian public in barefaced deceit and ended in a catastrophic flop. Shockingly, without formal admission of failure and expenditure audit, the Tinubu Administration is quietly out to put the decorated skeletons of the refineries for sale to cronies. In a recent fatalistic undertaker's verdict by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the private owner of Nigeria's only working and largest refinery in Africa, the Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna refinery ghosts of Nigeria can never work again. 


7. Also before now, rewind to May 26, 2023, three days to late President Muhammadu Buhari's hand-over of power to the Tinubu Administration. Nigerians will recall that Buhari and his then Aviation Minister, Mr. Hadi Sirika, chartered an Ethiopian Boeing 737 commercial jet in Addis Ababa, painted it into a sham Nigeria Air courier colours and logo and flew it into Nigeria. On the said May 26, 2025, the static plane was decorated in ribbons at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja and displayed to the press as a ceremony commissioning the new Nigeria Air courier, with other jets to follow soon after. After the unveiling it was flown back to Ethiopia, the Nigerian colours and logo washed away and its Ethiopian colours restored. It immediately resumed operations with the Ethiopian fleet after its one-day scam ceremony by the APC government in Nigeria. In Buhari's eight years of annual budgets for the aviation sector and the phantom "Nigeria Air" swindle, his APC administration swindled from the Nigeria treasury #85.42billion. No trial to conviction has been recorded till date on this massive, flagrant, in-your-face public fraud.


8. In the light of the above, the Labour Party hereby emphatically declares that the unsolicited, self appointed campaign by the chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for salary increase for politicians, who are already clearly over-indulged in the eyes of civilize democracies of the world, is suspect. We are compelled to agree with millions of Nigerians that Mr. Mohammed Shehu has hidden unpatriotic motives in flying this audacious, unconscionable and insensitive scheme, especially at this time when countless Nigerians are passing through untold economic hardship and its accompanying privations, vagaries and indignities. 


9. Our party's advice to the chairman of the RMAFC and his unseen collaborators, in and outside the commission, who are behind this misadventure is that they should immediately retrace their steps in their best interest. This is so that the commission will not confirm the suspicion and incur the wrath of outraged Nigerians across the country and beyond who believe that given the unscrupulous, unprosecuted and regime pampered corruption of APC administrations in general, officials of the are aiming their hands for the jar of the Tinubu Administration's unchecked APC corruption orgy at the expense of suffering Nigerians, expected to come through picking kudos commission from thousands of grateful Nigeria politicians nationwide who he may be in conspiracy with them to pay commission's chairman and his team financial homage for a job well-done, as well as other goodwill exchange within the corridors of power.


Furthermore, it will be callous remiss for the revenue allocation commission not to realize that rewarding politicians with more public funds from Nigeria's public treasury, which is already bleeding profusely from corruption, will keep Tinubu in his present mode of marathon borrowings and future short-changing foreign debts.


If anything, the campaign RMAFC should consider urgent, pressing and patriotic to join is to increase Nigeria's workers minimum wage from its present miserable paltry sum of #70,000 per month. In case the RMAFC's chairman is not aware, the United States of America just empathically issued a statement from across the Atlantic to appraise and advocate for improvement of Nigeria's pathetic miniuwage. If a foreign nation could should demonstrate such empathy towards our suffering citizens, the RMAFC's chairman and his administrative directors have no valid excuse not to do more.


Given the above corrosive corruption, grinding penury and retarded development potentials of Nigeria, it is painfully curious, an excruciating irony, that in her recent visit to Nigeria and the Presidency, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala, the Nigerian born Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), should compliment the non-accounting administration of Bola Tinubu as doing well. Labour Party joins Nigeria in asking: will the WTO Director-General find the same benchmarks of corruption, pandemic official fraud, non-compliance with due process laws, flagrant inflation of infrastructure funds and sweeping insecurity plaguing Nigeria under the APC administration of Tinubu in any European, American, Asian countries or other regions of the world and honestly acclaim that they were doing well? Certainly not.


*Conclusion*


Fellow Nigerians, those who burn down a country and those who watch them do so in silence, complacency from privileged insulation and inaction are equal culprits.


The fight to dismantle the structure, superstructure and architecture of corruption is not Peter Obi's fight alone. It is not Labour Party's fight alone. It is the fight of all of us 200million Nigerians. It is a fight for our children, their own children and generations unborn.


APC is burning down our country with never before seen monstrosity of corruption in virtually every sector of our economy, national life and the daily petrifying insecurity of lives and properties that now hold our country's citizens hostage, wether in the cities or rural countrysides and farms where majority of our food and sustenance come from.


It takes a village to tie down a mad relative to give him medicine or put him in stocks for the safety of others. In 2027, let us rise together in communal unison as one people, irrespective of tribe, religion and region to see out of our land the wolf packs ravaging our flock, values and destiny as a great country.

By Prince Tony Akeni, National Publicity Secretary (Interim), Labour Party, Thursday August 21, 2025


This press briefing is to serve the sternest warning to the chairman of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu. 


Every Tinubu minister and head of agency wants to leave government in 2027 richer than Dangote, but not necessarily through hard work and industry. The chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for his personal benefits, appears to have joined the list as the latest addition to Nigeria's unfortunate story of the insensitivity of government and its agencies to the hydra-headed plights of Nigeria's citizens. 


On Monday August 18, 2025 Mohammed Shehu woke up on the wrong side of his bed and decided to take his own pound of flesh from the long suffering but pliant Nigerian people by adding his own dimension of nightmares to the treasury bunkering of the ruling APC government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 


You will recall that in a press conference he held in Abuja on the aforementioned date, the fiscal allocation commission's chairman served Nigerians a menu of fallacies to insult the intelligence of Nigerians by claiming that all Mr. President receives for his office in an entire year is a paltry #18million at a salary of #1.5million per month, while his ministers receive #1million per month or #12million per annum. This mischievous and obnoxious lie of figure juggling was corroborated by the CBN Governor, Mr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso, who, according to unrefuted information in the public domain, enjoys unheard-of Eldorado luxury living which, beside his monumental monthly salary, includes a #1b (one billion naira) annual housing allowance and $15million or #24billion global flight tickets and single-handedly appointed a bevy of lady consultants who receive #35million and #50million per month, (not per year). For avoidance of doubts, two of the bevy who receive these Olympian and outrageous salaries in the office of the Nigerian CBN Governor, according to the unchallenged reports, are Ms. Daphne Dafinone and Ms. Nkiru Balonwu who is facing EFCC investigations for alleged egregious financial conduct. 


The above infantile Disneyland story of the RMAFC's chairman, Mr. Shehu Mohammed, is further starkly contradicted by the fact that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's wife has suddenly, after 2023 swearing-in of Tinubu, found fortune which enables her to donate to events as much as #1billion in a single occasion when her husband receives a miserable paltry sum of #18million per annum as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


When we say every actor of fortune under the Tinubu-APC maladministration is out to out-Dangote Dangote by the time the Labour Party and the good people of Nigeria boot them out of office in 2027, it is both a moral and institutional duty that we supply background to prove our assertion. I urge all Nigerians to join our party follow the trail of this locust swarm called APC by reading this to the end and rising to act.


We shall forerun our engagement of the chairman of the revenue allocation commission and his campaign for salary increase for politicians with the facts and figures of epic public finance abuses we present below to help Nigerians reflect, evaluate afresh and to stand up against the dangers posed to their lives by the current APC administration. The chronicle of government promoted corruption among heads of agencies which the Labour Party delivers below are for just 2025, and the year is still running.


1. In the 2025 Federal Government budget figure of #54.99trillion signed into law on February 8, 2025, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, needed to buy a nuclear station that produces electricity for the common good of Nigerians. So, he inserted an amount that will cost Nigerians #266million per street light; an unseen type of streetlight that would probably come with a Maikano power plant and a piece of the sun each. The APC rubber-stamp Senate of Mr. Godswill Akpabio approved it. When yam falls into a palm oil bowl, what do you expect? The above budget for mere streetlights was in addition to Minister Bagudu tucking into the 2025 budget what BudgIT, the public finance tracking agency, called "ghost projects" amounting to #6.93 trillion.


2. On June 10, 2025, the APC's FCT sheriff, Minister Nyesom Wike re-commissioned the now re-named Abuja International Conference Centre after a solo renovation cost submission of #39billion. The renovation went through contract award without competitive biddings required by Nigeria's Due Process laws. This is an amount of money that would have built for Nigerians a minimum of nine modern equiped health centres in each state of the federation or approximately three health centres in every senatorial district of Nigeria, including Abuja FCT. To comfort Nigerians for their pains and complaints, Nyesom Wike has been singing the lullaby to the public against critics' umbrage that the conference centre, which is actually a ghosts' haven 90% of the year, is now churning mountainous revenues into the coffers of the government after its renovation, and that it is fully booked up to 2027. Of course, it is fully booked by ghosts for ghost activities. 


Meanwhile, in contrast to Minister Wike's #39billion windfall for a conference hall renovation, only #10billion was budgeted for Nigeria's entire land border security covering 4,047 kilometers, a whopping #150billion was set on fire to purchase a used presidential jet for President Tinubu and another #5billion for an idle presidential yacht. 


3. On June 11, 2025, the Minister of Agriculture, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, approved a portion of the ministry's 2025 budget of #636billion for a fasting and prayer programme for all its staff to boost agriculture and vanquish hunger in Nigeria. The circular to all staff on this epic event summoned staff to come to work fasting for "a solemn session for God's guidance and success in supporting the (Tinubu) government's efforts to achieve food security." Nigerians, where on earth except APC's Nigeria is modern mechanized farming and food security attained through budget financed prayers and fasting? Is this also the model for governance of nations which China, Japan, Singapore, The Netherlands, Israel, even war-torn Ukraine and other successful Agric pillared economies used to achieve food security?


4. On August 5, 2025, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, dutifully molested Nigerians' ear drums with the news of renovating Lagos Airport at a cost of #712billion or $447million. Again, this airport could be renovated fit and proper to world standard with a much smaller fraction of that cost with ample room to build a maternity annex in the peri-urban communities of every of Nigeria's 774 local government council areas.   


5. On August 14, 2025, the APC Works Minister, Engr. David Umahi, ruthlessly shocked Nigerians by announcing that his ministry needed #3.6trillion to demolish and build, brand new from scratch, the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos or, ironically, a higher amount of #3.8trillion to repair the existing one. What Minister David Umahi is audaciously asking to renovate the Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 1.97% or nearly 2% of Nigeria's entire 2025 federal government budget. Let us take stock.


i. The Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 11.8km long, and has insignificant physical obstacles by marine engineering standards, which involve mere water depths ranging from two to ten meters, the deepest point, it is said, being at the entrance of the Commodore Channel. 


ii. The longest bridge in the world, the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (DKG Bridge) is 168.8km. Considerable engineering obstacles to its construction involved about 150 river channels. Additionally, it had to be designed with ferro-concrete bastions to support the famous Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway which intercepts it.


iii. The cost of constructing the DKG Bridge of 168.8km was $8.5b or #13trillion. This brought the average cost of one kilometer to #79billion. Nigeria's Minister David Umahi's cost of $2.35b for mere 11.8km brings the average cost of one kilometer of his 3rd Mainland Bridge to $198.8m or #305b. This is 3.8 times or nearly 400% higher than China's DKG Bridge. It is ok to aspire to be as rich or to out-rich Dangote, but Labour Party insists that it should not be at the death of Nigerians through phantom budgets and corruption facilitated mass burials.


6. Before the above, Nigeria's PDP and APC governments from 1999 to 2023 had burnt $18b in refurbishing and rehabilitation claims of the country's three refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. In less than 15 months of being sworn into office, Tinubu and his APC cabinet set another $2.8 on fire on a failed wild goose rehabilitation scheme which was sold to the Nigerian public in barefaced deceit and ended in a catastrophic flop.

Why Dexter Akin Alamu lost woefully despite the strong presence of Obidients in Ibadan

Why Dexter Akin Alamu lost woefully despite the strong presence of Obidients in Ibadan

No comments

Oyo State Obident
Leadership@ the South
 West Conference, Lagos.
256 votes for Dexter Akin Alamu was embarrassing despite spending 77m naira for campaign. He didn't get votes because he failed to identify with the organic foot soldiers. Dexter by now should have known what characters the political actors in the parallel structures in Oyo state had:



1. Quick gains/cash and carry group (Ayo Akinyemi Group).


2. The organic foot soldiers (100% Obidient) ( the other group).


Our 2023 experience shaped our thoughts and decisions to work as parallel structures, despite being without sponsorship, while the other group had your support (Dexter) and the state party chairman Alhaji Sodiq Atayese who never believed Peter Obi could win. We were even begging for materials to work with (sensitisation materials)while some were privileged to get materials in excess but did not deploy effectively 



The Obidient movement was Birthed after Dr Tanko Yunusa was Appointed last year, and some of us met him since last year. Before his appointment we were operating under coalition of support groups which seize to be After Dr Tanko was appointed and the Obidient movement structure Globally was setup and all previous structures was Collapsed into the movement 


The national leadership earlier identified with us way before the southwest conference, after the southwest coordinator and National director of Mobilization visited us in Ibadan prior to the south west conference.



We aligned with the national from "peace and reconciliation comitee" to 

"Obidient harmonization movement" down to "Obidient harmonization forum" and it was when we published the south west conference e-fliers that the other group got to meet the global coordinator Dr. Tanko Yunusa, the director of Mobilization Morris Monye, the southwest coordinator Hon. Seyi Sowunmi, and some members of the coordinating council. It's worrisome to note that some people are still standing on a stale structure from 2023


We organised the Obidient birthday rally which was a national programme that held in the 36 states and the Federal capital territory 


You (Dr Dexter)saw the adverts of the programme in your constituency which started from Mokola roundabout and ended at Oluyole Cheshire home of the disabled we did it without receiving a dime from the national and you failed to identify with us because Ayo Akinyemi made a press statement that he wasn't part of it, while he was busy politicking to hijack the structure earlier set by the national coordinator, He claimed to be in charge of the obidient movement in Oyo which operated 2 parallel structures and you know. You saw our adverts which you ought to key into if you are Truly obidient



 If Ayo Akinyemi was Truly Obidient, why did he not align with the appointed state coordinating council?


 Why did he flaunt national orders on the birthday rally? 


Ayo Akinyemi used you (Dexter) to deceive the national coordinator to endorse him, claiming he had a structure present at the 33 LG in Oyo, while using your own people and real Obidients that didn't identify that it was to validate his structure.


If you spend 200m campaigning with the same group you will get same result. Ayo Akinyemi is very good at snatching power and running with it. But this time, because they couldn't get what they want, they came out early to expose themselves with 10m naira donation from His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi.


 2027 is around the corner. If care is not taken, 2023 will repeat itself in Oyo state

The True Cost of Selling and Buying Votes — PO

The True Cost of Selling and Buying Votes — PO

No comments

Peter Obi

Vote-buying is one of the greatest dangers confronting our democracy. It is never an act of kindness; it is a calculated investment in corruption. Those who buy votes do so with only one intention—to gain access to public funds. By bribing voters today, they are purchasing a licence to plunder tomorrow. And when they get into office, the money meant for schools, hospitals, roads, and jobs is diverted into private pockets. Such people are not leaders—they are looters. Their actions rob our society of dignity, development, and even life itself.


But those who sell their votes are not innocent either. When you exchange your ballot for money or material gain, you are not just selling a vote—you are selling your future. You are selling away the schools your children should attend, the hospitals that should save lives, and the jobs that should lift families out of poverty. In truth, you mortgage your tomorrow for a token that can not sustain you today.


The reality is simple: looters can only loot when we hand them the key. If your vote had no value, nobody would be desperate to buy it. The fact that millions are spent on vote-buying shows that your ballot is priceless. The real power does not lie in their money. It lies in your conscience, your courage, and your vote.


The choice is ours. We either keep selling our votes and remain trapped in poverty and bad governance, or we rise above temporary gain and reclaim the future of our nation. Every Nigerian must take responsibility. Let us reject the politics of bribery and embrace the politics of service. Let us elect leaders who will build, not loot.

Bye-Election: Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu Makes More Revelations on his Election Spendings, Says hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients Sell Out

Bye-Election: Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu Makes More Revelations on his Election Spendings, Says hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients Sell Out

No comments

Dexter 

The ADC House of Representatives candidate in the just concluded Bye-Election in Ibadan North Dr. Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu has made more Revelations about the poor outing of the party in the last Saturday Bye-Election.

 

Femi Dexter in a news statement shield more light on his campaign spending which many considered outrageous especially with the total 256 of votes scored and not 88 Votes as earlier rumored and publicized.


His latest message in response to critics on his election spending and donations received from donors especially from Peter Obi, opined that hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients that worked with him in the course of his campaigns sold out after  money to work against him.



His full statement:


 Good morning all. I have made 3 statements already since the election concluded, and it has stated clearly all that any right thinking person needs to know. Whilst I have also seen a lot of bickering by the angry and hungry opportunists who feel they have a right to my campaign funds after selling out and receiving money to work against me, fraudsters in the name of obidients, people giving the movement a bad name, I am yet to see exactly any question apart from people questioning how my money was spent during the elections, opportunists that did not even show up for campaign Rallies that have suddenly turned themselves into stakeholders. They first claimed I received 10 million from PO, now when it is obvious I did not rather that eat their words and apologise, they are bickering over how I spent 77 million or whether I spent 77 million on a campaign I opened since September of last year from a campaign office I opened in Mokola since then. All the questions I see is why we have 88 votes, which by the way is actually 256, the answer is simple because people like those complaining sold out, got money to destroy the election and even after the election they have not stopped. Criminals with no integrity. What exactly is my crime ? Find me one ward chairman that was not mobilised for this election, find me the LG government chairman and let him come and say he wasn't mobilised, find me an agent that did not collect 5k with his tag and another 5k on submission of results. @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩, at least you are here, tell me if you did not employ 51 agents in Ward 12 alone. I dare you to produce 1 agent who did not receive their money. But the greedy opportunists who did not even leave their house on election day haven received funds to mobilize against us are here talking, they will rather the money was shared for them than use it well and when that does not happen they resort to cheap blackmail without substance. Any one apart from @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩ who I know received 20k out of the 80k sent to Tony to get 4 people to monitor the agents in Ward 12 alone. For the records I paid all agents from ward 1 to 12, 10k each and I paid 4 supervisors in each ward 20k each, I mobilised chairmen in 9 of the 12 wards 100k each, only the 2 wards where we did not have a chairman yet did not get it and BASA who was there when all this was done promised to pay the 100k of ward 5.

Dexter 

The ADC House of Representatives candidate in the just concluded Bye-Election in Ibadan North Dr. Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu has made more Revelations about the poor outing of the party in the last Saturday Bye-Election.

 

Femi Dexter in a news statement shield more light on his campaign spending which many considered outrageous especially with the total 256 of votes scored and not 88 Votes as earlier rumored and publicized.


His latest message in response to critics on his election spending and donations received from donors especially from Peter Obi, opined that hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients that worked with him in the course of his campaigns sold out after  money to work against him.



His full statement:


 Good morning all. I have made 3 statements already since the election concluded, and it has stated clearly all that any right thinking person needs to know. Whilst I have also seen a lot of bickering by the angry and hungry opportunists who feel they have a right to my campaign funds after selling out and receiving money to work against me, fraudsters in the name of obidients, people giving the movement a bad name, I am yet to see exactly any question apart from people questioning how my money was spent during the elections, opportunists that did not even show up for campaign Rallies that have suddenly turned themselves into stakeholders. They first claimed I received 10 million from PO, now when it is obvious I did not rather that eat their words and apologise, they are bickering over how I spent 77 million or whether I spent 77 million on a campaign I opened since September of last year from a campaign office I opened in Mokola since then. All the questions I see is why we have 88 votes, which by the way is actually 256, the answer is simple because people like those complaining sold out, got money to destroy the election and even after the election they have not stopped. Criminals with no integrity. What exactly is my crime ? Find me one ward chairman that was not mobilised for this election, find me the LG government chairman and let him come and say he wasn't mobilised, find me an agent that did not collect 5k with his tag and another 5k on submission of results. @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩, at least you are here, tell me if you did not employ 51 agents in Ward 12 alone. I dare you to produce 1 agent who did not receive their money. But the greedy opportunists who did not even leave their house on election day haven received funds to mobilize against us are here talking, they will rather the money was shared for them than use it well and when that does not happen they resort to cheap blackmail without substance. Any one apart from @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩ who I know received 20k out of the 80k sent to Tony to get 4 people to monitor the agents in Ward 12 alone. For the records I paid all agents from ward 1 to 12, 10k each and I paid 4 supervisors in each ward 20k each, I mobilised chairmen in 9 of the 12 wards 100k each, only the 2 wards where we did not have a chairman yet did not get it and BASA who was there when all this was done promised to pay the 100k of ward 5. I mobilised on average about 10 people in each ward between 20k and 100k on Friday night/ Saturday morning, most of this was done with a POS owned by Lolade of ward 5, for any one that is really interested in the truth this can be confirmed.

Dr Dexter 

It has become necessary to once again address the lies, smear campaigns, and outright blackmail being orchestrated against Dr. Dexter by a few hungry individuals hiding under the banner of the Obidient Movement in Oyo State.


Let us set the record straight:


They claim Dr Dexter received 10 million naira from Peter Obi, this is a total lie, The donation in question was from Alhaji. Kashim Imam and the donation neither came through the effort of Tanko or the obidient movement, Tanko himself was only contacted to verify the chances of Dr. Dexter at the elections. The donation came from a call Dr Dexter made by himself in the presence of witnesses on Friday morning to Aisha Yesufu who as at then had not been contacted by anyone about Dr. Dexter's election, it was after that he called Tanko to verify the details he was given by Dr. Dexter.


!. It is amazing that I am being asked as His DG Media what has been Dr. Dexter's contribution to the Obidient movement in Oyo state.


1. Leading to the 2023 elections. Dr. Dexter gave the Obidient Movement an office for use. on Ring road. That alone is more than many so-called leaders have done for this movement.


2. Just days to his own elections, Dr. Dexter still put the movement first by singlehandedly providing the air-conditioned hall, sound systems, screens, cameras, and every other equipment used for a recent seminar organized by the Obidient Movement. Their entire contribution was a mere ₦30,000 for diesel, which Dr dexter still added N100,000 to so the generator he provided for them can be put onl to power the event.


3. On the very day of his primaries, when Dr. Dexter asked the movement to help mobilize just 40 people, they bluntly said they could only do it if he first paid them ₦200,000 for “logistics.” He paid it. They only moved after collecting money. And now the same people have the audacity to question his loyalty to the Obidient cause? Laughable.


4. Ahead of the election, when rallies were put together just one week to voting day, these same people demanded ₦15,000 per car for fuel if any of their members were to drive around Ibadan North. When they didn’t get it, they disappeared. No mobilization, no participation.


5. As if that wasn’t enough, they shamelessly asked for ₦20 million for “mobilization for the election.” When Dr. Dexter refused to release such an outrageous sum, they went missing in action. But today, they cry that the ₦11.4 million donations he received— of which almost all the donors were Dr. Dexter's Family and friends.


Let us stop deceiving ourselves: many so-called Obidients are nothing but opportunists, using the name of His Excellency Peter Obi as a cover for scams and extortion.


And to crown the absurdity of it all, the loudest voice behind this smear campaign—Mr. Jeje Ibukun, who parades himself as “PRO” of the movement in Oyo State—was recently sacked by Christ Ambassadors School after being caught diverting funds meant for the school’s football field grass. Staff of the school and even those at Wells Radio confirmed his fraud. This same man is now sending threats to Dr. Dexter promising to “destroy his image.” Is this not laughable? A fraudster turned PRO is now the self-appointed judge of integrity?


Enough is enough.

The public deserves to know the truth: Dr. Dexter has given more to the Obidient Movement than many of the same people now trying to destroy him. This smear campaign is nothing but the cry of rejected stomach politicians who see the movement as a money-making machine.


The question is simple: if people who must be paid before they lift a finger call themselves “Obidient,” then who are we deceiving?


The time has come to expose opportunists hiding under the Obidient name for what they really are.

Dexter 

I have seen a lot comments since Saturday, and Yesterday . Some congratulating and praying and all that for Hon. Dexter Akin Alamu.


But the truth is this, Dr. Dexter Akin Alamu traded us all for his own selfish and personal gain. 


The man traded the entire structure of ADC, the entire work force of the Oyo state Obidient Movement and the unsuspecting innocent voters of Ibadan North.


With evidences well available to us now. Akin Alamu despite collecting a huge amount of #10m from His Excellency, Peter Obi on Thursday/Friday of the just concluded election of Ibadan North he failed to mobilised or pay for agents and canvassers who could have helped him and ADC probably won that election. Instead he pocketed the money and the results was that that there were no agents nor fund to mobilised credible ADC supporter and the Obideints structures to the field of votes on Saturday.


Mind you, it wasthe Obideint Movement in Oyo state through their leadership Ayo Akinyemi that facilitated how Peter Obi released pooping sum of #10m to Dr. Dexter through the National President of the Obidient Movement in Nigeria, Dr. Yinusa Tanko on Friday and the Dr. Tanko Yinusa immediately called Com. Ayo Akinyemi to inform him that the Oyo state Obideint wish and solicitation for fund for Dexter's has been approved and that a sum of #10m has been sent into Dexter's account for his elections.


Ladies and Gent, up until yesterday , Dr. Dexter Akin Alamu did not disclose to the leadership of ADC, Obidients or his campaign team that he received #10m from Peter Obi.


So because he was playing too smart on his part, the ADC was stranded, canvassers , agents of ADC and Obidents were helpless and stranded in that elections and so we all got that shameful, abysmal result ADC /Dexter got.


The truth is that Dexter Akin Alamu used ADC /Oyo Obidents to cash out #10m from Peter Obi and probably sold out to PDP also in that election.


The evidences are with us for anyone who may be doubting or thinking it is a fabricated story. 


ADC/Obidents in Oyo State must be weary and at alert of these opportunists, hungry politicians coming innthe name of Peter Obi into their midst.


Hon Dexter Akin Alamu was tagged a traitor in Lp and again he has shown same in the election of Saturday.


The truth is that he may not have lost if he had channeled the money given to him on the election and not pocketed it. It is a big shame that the first major election of ADC in Oyo state went in this way because of the greediness of a man whose ambition is not to savage the masses really but to psyphone the collective money gathered for him to win election.

Some of us are worse than these PDP /APC guys that we abuse everyday.

How Federal High Court Interprets Supreme Court's Judgment on LP Leadership Crises: Declares Abure's Tenure Expired, Affirms INEC's Rejection of Abure's NEC!

How Federal High Court Interprets Supreme Court's Judgment on LP Leadership Crises: Declares Abure's Tenure Expired, Affirms INEC's Rejection of Abure's NEC!

No comments

 Comrade Tony Akeni, Interim National Publicity Secretary, Labour Party


Senator Nenadi 

The Federal High Court in Abuja today put paid to the protracted confusion trailing the Supreme Court judgment delivered April 4 this year on the tenure of the Julius Abure led National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party. 


The judgment has consequently also put to rest the ensuing furore of the judgment's true interpretation by contending parties.


Delivering its verdict today in the federal capital, the court unequivocally also upheld INEC's rejection of the Julius Abure leadership of the party contained in the electoral commission's affidavit on oath which asserted that Abure's tenure as national chairman of the Labour Party terminated on June 8, 2024, and that the purported Nnewi convention which Abure and his defunct council hitherto clung to was inconsistent with INEC's rules and regulations governing political party convention, the country's Electoral Act, illegal and therefore null and void. 


The development which gives the Nnenadi Usman council the clear and puts her squarely in the reins of the Labour Party leadership was made known today in Abuja by Sen. Usman Nenadi herself in an official statement on the judgment and spirited commendation of the judiciary on the party's leadership disputes and INEC. 


Below is the full statement.



I WELCOME THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT JUDGMENT IN SUIT NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/1523/2025 AND INEC’S SWORN CONFIRMATION OF THE EXPIRATION OF MR. JULIUS ABURE’S TENURE AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE LABOUR PARTY


I received with profound relief and deep satisfaction the news of the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1523/2025, which today dismissed in its entirety the case instituted by Mr. Julius Abure against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This decision stands as yet another unambiguous and authoritative affirmation of the rule of law and the judiciary’s steadfast consistency in upholding the binding pronouncements of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.


This latest judgment aligns squarely with the earlier decision of the Supreme Court, delivered on 4 April 2025 in Appeal No. SC/CV/56/2025, which unequivocally nullified all previous recognitions of Mr. Abure’s purported leadership of the Labour Party. In its wisdom - and in strict adherence to the Supreme Court’s final pronouncement - the Federal High Court in Abuja rightly struck out the originating suit for want of jurisdiction. That decision of the apex court remains binding on all persons and authorities in Nigeria pursuant to Section 287 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


I must also commend the Independent National Electoral Commission for the clarity, courage, and institutional integrity reflected in its Counter Affidavit during the pendency of the case. In that sworn testimony before the court, INEC categorically confirmed that the tenure of Mr. Abure, along with that of the entire National Executive Committee, expired in June 2024. The Commission further affirmed that it neither monitored nor recognised the purported National Convention held in Nnewi on 27 March 2024, having found it to be in flagrant breach of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the Electoral Act 2022, INEC’s own Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties 2022, and the Labour Party Constitution.


This unequivocal position, rendered under oath by the nation’s electoral umpire before a competent court of law, removes all lingering doubts and reinforces the imperative for every member, officer, and stakeholder of our great party to submit, at all times, to the supremacy of our Constitution and the dictates of the rule of law.


With this judgment - and INEC’s clear, unambiguous stance - it is time for all members of the Labour Party to put this needless distraction behind us and to recommit ourselves to the urgent task of rebuilding and repositioning our party into the credible, disciplined, and people-centred political movement that Nigerians deserve.


Under my leadership as Interim National Chairman, I remain unwavering in my commitment to ensuring strict compliance with our party’s Constitution, entrenching transparent internal democratic processes, and restoring unity, discipline, and shared purpose as we prepare for the political contests ahead.
