Focus on your own failures, stop blaming Tinubu – LP slams PDP, Atiku


THE NATION

The opposition Labour Party (LP) under the leadership of Barr. Julius Abure has advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to stop blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the intractable crisis plaguing the PDP, saying it is a self -inflicted woe.

The Labour Party also asked the PDP to recuse itself from contesting or presenting any candidate for the country’s next presidential election in 2027, declaring that the hitherto largest political party in Africa has lost both “direction and focus.”

Highlighting the alleged leadership crisis within the party, the Labour Party (LP) pointed to the violent clash at its Abuja headquarters during a Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting, where Samuel Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye both claimed the position of National Secretary. 

The party also referenced Atiku Abubakar’s allegation that opposition leaders were each paid ₦50 million by the central government to undermine democracy. Given these developments, LP asserted that the party can no longer be relied upon to provide the much-needed leadership in the country.

In a statement on Friday by the National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Abayomi Arabambi, the LP said if the PDP had not been able to put its house in order and work in unity since losing power in 2015 to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), it will also be quite difficult for it to reclaim power in 2027 let alone summoning the requisite direction, focus and organisation to manage the affairs of Nigeria.

Arabambi added that given the precarious situation of the opposition PDP today, it will be a deft move if the once ruling political party in Nigeria should heed the wise counsel, recuse itself from the next presidential election and join forces with the Labour Party and Mr Peter Obi to make the union formidable enough to wrest power from the APC in 2027…
