According to the party, Adeyanju’s assertions have significantly damaged the Labour Party’s reputation. The party is now demanding that Adeyanju provide facts and evidence to support his claims that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu or his party, the APC, has compromised the Labour Party ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the Labour Party said it has consistently denied allegations of collaborating with the APC. The party claims to be the most visible opposition party, with Barrister Abure being a leading voice in the opposition camp, criticizing the present government and offering alternative solutions.
The statement further noted that the party has been working to reposition itself, introducing initiatives such as the Electoral Reform Committee, a Political Education Committee, and e-membership registration. These efforts aim to promote participatory democracy and transparent processes in the selection of leadership in Nigeria.
The Labour Party views Adeyanju’s comments as criminal defamation, intended to ridicule the party’s hard-earned reputation. The party is calling on Adeyanju to provide evidence to support his claims or withdraw his statements and apologize to the party’s leadership and members for the harm caused.
