Guber Polls: LP Rules Out Alliance With Other Parties

Ahead of Saturday’s governorship and the state assembly elections, the Labour Party (LP) has declared that it has not formed an alliance with any political party.

The Labour Party said it is leaving nothing to chance in ensuring that their candidates not only participate in the gubernatorial and the state house of assembly elections, but win at the ballot.

A statement issued by the national chairman of the party, Barr Julius Abure, said the clarification becomes necessary given reports from some political opportunists from other political platforms, claiming that they have reached an agreement with “Obidients and LP supporters to cast their ballots for them in this Saturday’s polls.

“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that the national secretariat of LP has not given any instructions for any chapter of the party to liaise or support any candidate except LP candidates in this Saturday’s polls.
