AMAECHI CAST DOWN OSHIOMHOLE OVER MISGUIDED COMMENTS ON NATIONAL TV
If Oshiomhole Had Any Shame, He Would Keep Quiet
…CRA ’27 Advocacy Network Response to Adams Oshiomhole’s Remarks on Channels TV
The CRA ’27 Advocacy Network has reviewed the comments made by Senator Adams Oshiomhole on Channels TV’s Politics Today, where he attempted to disparage H.E. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. What Nigerians witnessed was not informed analysis, but a mixture of personal bitterness and revisionist storytelling. When a man leaves public office without institutional legacy, meaningful reform, or enduring public value, restraint and humility should guide his contributions to national discourse.
It is important to set the record straight. As Governor of Rivers State, Amaechi did not just occupy office, he transformed it. He established Nigeria’s earliest integrated surveillance and rapid-response security architectures, dramatically reducing kidnapping and violent crime. His education reforms included building over 500 modern schools, employing 13,000 teachers, and expanding healthcare manpower from fewer than 200 professionals to over 1,500 doctors, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, and support workers. He strengthened the Rivers State University with new academic faculties, invested in agricultural enterprise through Songhai Farms, and delivered sustainable infrastructure, not publicity stunts.
As Minister of Transportation, Amaechi provided Nigerians the only operational standard-gauge rail lines in our history (Abuja–Kaduna, Lagos–Ibadan, and Warri–Itakpe), while advancing Kano–Kaduna, Port Harcourt–Maiduguri, and Kano–Maradi lines, originally conceived in the 2006 federal rail masterplan. His Deep Blue Maritime Security Project led to Nigeria’s removal from the International Maritime Bureau piracy blacklist after nearly two decades. These are not slogans; Nigerians use these systems every day.
Adams Oshiomhole’s own record tells a different story. As Governor of Edo State, he promised 10,000 jobs but barely produced 1,000, only to dismiss them without benefits. He presided over an administration where revenue collection was handed to motor park enforcers like Kabaka, while 24 different taxes strangled local businesses and traders in Benin City. His most publicised projects, from the ₦30 billion stormwater project funded from the Ecological Fund, to the specialist hospital staged with borrowed equipment for television, ended as monuments to mismanagement and deception.
Edo State’s debt rose beyond ₦45 billion domestically and over $180 million externally, yet there is no landmark institution or infrastructure to justify such a burden. His governance style was marked by contract awards without due process, demolition of private property for political revenge, and an attempt to covertly convert the University in Iyamo into a personal asset until Governor Godwin Obaseki exposed and stopped him.
Despite leaving thousands of Edo pensioners and former civil servants unpaid, Oshiomhole somehow found the resources to build a sprawling multi-billion naira mansion in Iyamo, complete with lavish facilities that no public record clearly explains. Questions also remain over how lands around Okoro-Otun were quietly acquired and repurposed during his tenure, with local communities alleging that state land meant for public use gradually became private estates tied to his interests.
Amaechi’s legitimacy is not in doubt. Court records confirm he won the PDP primaries with 6,527 votes out of 6,575, defeating seven other candidates. The Supreme Court did not hand out favours, it merely upheld electoral justice. Amaechi remains the only Nigerian to have successfully managed two presidential campaigns: defeating an incumbent in 2015 and delivering a re-election in 2019. That is strategic leadership, not noise.
On the issue of the judiciary, Oshiomhole again misled the public. The Rivers State judiciary was paralysed by internal legal disputes, not by executive interference. Amaechi acted strictly within constitutional limits to manage a complex judicial crisis. What Oshiomhole should be concerned about instead is how his own party, the APC, violated the Constitution by replacing an elected governor in Rivers State with a retired military administrator, a power no president possesses. Today, the APC's influence has sunk the judiciary to a point where judges publicly chanted “On your mandate we shall stand” at a recent judicial conference. This is not democracy. This is state capture.
Amaechi’s legacy is visible, measurable, and historic. Oshiomhole’s is rhetorical, transactional, and deeply forgettable. Until Adams Oshiomhole can point to a system he built, a policy he reformed, or an institution that outlived his tenure, he may criticise, but he cannot discredit.
ADAMS TANKO Reporting Live from Benin City Edo State Nigeria.
The Nigerian pageant and fashion industry has entered a new era of transformation and hope as Mr. Olufunsho Alexander Ajagbonna, popularly known as King Fajag, emerged as the new National President of the Association of Beauty Pageant, Parade, Fashion and Exhibition Organisation of Nigeria (ABPFEON).
The election and inauguration ceremony, held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Tovia Hotel & Suites, GRA, Benin City, Edo State, attracted industry stakeholders, pageant organizers, fashion entrepreneurs, and creative professionals from across the country.
The event themed “A New Mandate, A Stronger Future” marked a renewed commitment to repositioning Nigeria’s pageant and fashion sector as a vibrant contributor to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), while also ensuring integrity, professionalism, and accountability in its operations.
Over the past decade, the beauty and fashion industries have grown to become significant pillars in Nigeria’s creative economy.
From beauty contests and fashion exhibitions to modeling agencies and design showcases, these industries have created thousands of jobs for young Nigerians from stylists, designers, photographers, and models to event planners, marketers, and content creators.
Economic experts estimate that the broader fashion and creative pageant sector contributes billions of naira annually to Nigeria’s GDP, serving as a tool for empowerment and national branding. The sector has also positioned Nigeria as a growing global hub for talent and style across Africa.
Speaking shortly after his victory, King Fajag emphasized his commitment to building on this momentum by introducing policies and reforms that will make the industry more structured, recognized, and respected both locally and internationally.
In his first address as president, King Fajag announced that his administration would prioritize the registration and accreditation of all pageant and fashion event organizers operating across Nigeria.
This initiative, he explained, will create a verifiable database of practitioners under ABPFEON and will help foster integrity, capacity building, and professionalism within the sector.
“We will ensure that every pageant and fashion organization in Nigeria is properly registered with ABPFEON,” he said.
“This will help us set standards, promote ethics, and protect our members and participants.
We want to rebuild public trust and make the pageant industry one of the most respected creative sectors in Nigeria.”
King Fajag further noted that his administration would collaborate closely with law enforcement agencies to eliminate all forms of exploitation, fraud, and unethical practices sometimes associated with unregulated beauty contests.
Shortly after his election, King Fajag paid a courtesy visit to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, where he reiterated his commitment to ensuring that only credible, registered, and law-abiding organizers will be allowed to operate under ABPFEON.
He appealed for partnership and institutional support from the police to help sanitize the industry and safeguard participants, particularly young women, from abuse or manipulation.
“We must restore confidence in the pageant and fashion industry,” King Fajag declared.
“With strong collaboration with the police and other regulatory agencies, we can clean up the negative sides of the business and build a platform that promotes Nigeria’s image globally.”
In response, the Commissioner of Police commended the new president’s proactive approach and promised full cooperation by providing security support whenever needed.
The National Electoral Committee of ABPFEON, in a statement signed by its officials, described the election as free, fair, and transparent, noting that all issues previously affecting the Edo State Chapter and the national executive had been resolved before the polls.
The committee also reaffirmed that the election was conducted in line with the association’s constitutional mandate and expressed confidence in King Fajag’s leadership to elevate the pageant industry into a new phase of recognition and prosperity.
With another three-year term to lead the association, King Fajag promised to use his office to empower practitioners, foster partnerships, and build a globally competitive industry that mirrors the standards of developed nations like the United States and the United Kingdom.
“This new term is about service, accountability, and legacy, he said.
“We are not just organizing beauty pageants we are building an industry that represents Nigeria’s creativity, culture, and global potential.”
As ABPFEON begins this new chapter, stakeholders are optimistic that under King Fajag’s leadership, the Nigerian pageant and fashion industry will continue to evolve, creating more opportunities for youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, and cultural diplomacy.
Indeed, the pageant sector is no longer just about beauty and glamour; it is fast becoming a creative economic force capable of shaping narratives, promoting tourism, and strengthening Nigeria’s position in the global fashion and entertainment landscape.
With the theme “A New Mandate, A Stronger Future, ABPFEON appears ready to turn that vision into reality, one pageant at a time.

CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI'S POLITICAL INTRIGUES AND THE ROAD TO 2027 WITH NIGERIA’S DEMOCRACY AT A CROSSROADS
HASSAN MUSAWA Reporting Live from Abuja Nigeria.
As Nigeria slowly inches toward the 2027 presidential elections, the nation’s political atmosphere is once again heating up with renewed interest, alignments, and permutations.
Among the familiar figures quietly but firmly positioning himself for a political massive and winning comeback is Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State, ex-Minister of Transportation, and one of Nigeria’s most strategic political tacticians.
Despite speculations and political maneuvering across party lines, Amaechi remains one of the frontline aspirants for Nigeria’s presidency. Reliable sources within his political circle confirm that the former Rivers State Governor will not step down for anyone neither from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), nor from the opposition platforms like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or Labour Party (LP).
Instead, Amaechi is said to be working tirelessly behind the scenes to rebuild his political family and consolidate alliances nationwide.
Insiders describe Amaechi’s current political movement as a “silent reformation”, a deliberate effort to construct a credible, grassroots-oriented network that could serve as a formidable opposition bloc against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s APC government, which has faced mounting criticism over its economic and security policies.
Over two years into Tinubu’s administration, public discontent over inflation, unemployment, and insecurity has reached alarming levels.
The country continues to grapple with a weakened naira, rising cost of living, and an exodus of investors due to what many analysts call “economic uncertainty.”
For many Nigerians, Amaechi’s growing visibility represents a flicker of hope for a different kind of leadership experienced, energetic, and strategically independent.
Amaechi’s influence in Nigerian politics is deeply rooted in his record of public service and his history as a loyal party man who has been at the heart of major national political transitions.
Perhaps most significantly, his role as Director-General of Muhammadu Buhari’s Presidential Campaign Organization in both the 2015 and 2019 elections campaigns that delivered the presidency to the then-opposition APC cemented his status as a kingmaker and strategist.
Many northern politicians still remember his unwavering loyalty to Buhari and his ability to mobilize support across Nigeria’s diverse regions.
It is believed that this legacy has earned him a significant base of support in the North, where he remains a respected ally of many northern elites.
Political analysts argue that the northern endorsement could be the decisive factor in determining whether Amaechi becomes Nigeria’s next president.
If current calculations are anything to go by, Amaechi stands out as one of the few Southern politicians with the national spread and bipartisan appeal to challenge the ruling APC’s dominance.
His rumored consideration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a political platform has sparked discussions about the potential of a strong third force emerging in 2027.
For many observers, this strategy could mirror global political trends where reform-minded politicians are breaking away from traditional party structures to connect directly with citizens disillusioned by the political establishment.
President Bola Tinubu’s administration faces increasing scrutiny over its economic management, with critics citing poor fiscal policies, high fuel prices, and persistent insecurity.
The government’s attempts at attracting foreign investors have yielded little success, as issues like kidnapping, banditry, and terrorism continue to discourage global confidence in Nigeria’s business climate.
Moreover, diplomatic circles have expressed quiet concern over Nigeria’s international image, with references to unresolved controversies surrounding the president’s past.
For many political watchers, such issues could complicate Tinubu’s path to re-election, especially if confronted by a clean, tested, and widely respected opponent like Amaechi.
From allegations of rigging to voter suppression and judicial interference, the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process remains a sore point in its democratic journey.
The 2023 general elections exposed deep institutional weaknesses and eroded public trust in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Amaechi’s supporters argue that he represents the kind of reformist leader capable of championing electoral reforms, transparency, and accountability, values he is known to have defended during his years as Governor and Minister.
One thing that sets Amaechi apart is his grassroots accessibility. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he is known for mingling freely with ordinary citizens, particularly in his home state of Rivers, where he is still seen walking through Port Harcourt streets during political events.
This ability to connect with everyday Nigerians remains one of his strongest political assets.
However, the question remains:
Can Amaechi overcome the entrenched political machinery of both the APC and the PDP?
Observers believe that the 2027 elections could mark a defining moment for Nigeria’s democracy, testing whether competence and integrity can triumph over incumbency and money politics.
As Nigeria prepares for 2027, the mood across the nation is one of cautious optimism. Citizens are more politically aware, more vocal, and more determined to defend their votes than ever before.
The experience of the 2023 elections has awakened a civic consciousness that could reshape the nation’s political future.
In this unfolding drama, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi stands as a symbol of resilience, experience, and political reinvention a reminder that in Nigeria’s complex democracy, the game is never truly over until the final ballot is counted.
Whether Amaechi emerges as the face of a renewed opposition or as the unifying bridge between North and South, one thing is certain:
Nigeria’s 2027 presidential elections will be one of the most consequential in its democratic history, a test not just of leaders, but of the people’s will to redefine their nation’s destiny.
WHY WOULD NIGERIANS BRING BACK GOODLUCK JONATHAN AS PRESIDENT IN 2027 ?
By: National Watch Correspondent
IBRAHIM KABIR UMAR Reporting Live from
Abuja, Nigeria.
A powerful wave of public sentiment is sweeping across Nigeria as citizens from all walks of life are calling for the return of former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to lead the nation once again in 2027.
Under the trending hashtags #BringBackGoodluck2027,
#RestoreNigeriaWithGEJ2027, and #GoodluckForPeaceAndProgressWithGEJ2027, Nigerians across social media platforms are demanding a restoration of the nation’s economic stability, democratic integrity, and unity that many say characterized the Jonathan era.
According to the emerging Goodluck 2027 Presidential Movement, the call is not just political, it is patriotic. The movement describes Dr. Jonathan as “a symbol of peace, a man of vision, and a father of democracy.”
Supporters argue that during Jonathan’s leadership between 2010 and 2015, Nigeria witnessed relative economic growth, improved education, infrastructural expansion, steady electricity supply, and a stronger image in the international community.
> “When Goodluck led, Nigeria had hope. We had jobs, stability, and peace. The difference is clear,” said Mrs. Funke Olatunji, a Lagos-based entrepreneur who joined the campaign online.
Political analysts also note that Jonathan’s leadership style was characterized by tolerance, diplomacy, and respect for democratic values, qualities that many say are missing in today’s political climate.
Amid economic hardships, rising insecurity, and growing public dissatisfaction, citizens are increasingly nostalgic for the period of national calm and development that marked the former president’s tenure.
The Goodluck 2027 Campaign Movement has described its mission as one to “restore Nigeria’s lost glory through experience, humility, and wisdom.” The group insists that Jonathan’s comeback would not be about ambition but about “a rescue mission for a nation in distress.”
Dr. Jonathan, who has so far remained silent on his political intentions, is now at the center of a massive nationwide conversation. Observers believe that if he chooses to contest, his return could redefine the 2027 presidential race.
> “He is the bridge between the old and the new Nigeria,” says Chief Innocent Okorie, a political commentator from Enugu. “His return could bring back a leadership that listens and governs with fairness.”
As the movement gains momentum, thousands of Nigerians have begun organizing rallies, online campaigns, and public discussions under the unifying slogan:
“One Last Term to Restore Nigeria’s Hope with GEJ 2027.”
The public’s message is clear and resounding: “NIGERIA NEEDS GOODLUCK AGAIN 2027”
INEC RECOGNIZES ABURE AS LABOUR PARTY CHAIRMAN AFTER LONG BATTLE WITH PARTY UNRECOGNIZED STOCKHOLDERS
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has finally recognized Barrister Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, along with Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim as the National Secretary.
This development comes after a long-standing legal battle and a recent court order compelling INEC to recognize the Abure-led leadership.
According to reports, Abure and Ibrahim attended a quarterly consultative meeting between INEC and political parties, where Abure congratulated INEC's acting chair, Mrs. Agbamuche Mbu, on her appointment.
Via another handle, the Labour Party's National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, confirmed that INEC has been asked to upload the party's candidates for the FCT Area Council elections.
This recognition is expected to bring stability to the Labour Party, which has been embroiled in internal conflicts and leadership disputes.
The supreme court's decision and INEC's subsequent recognition are seen as a major victory for the Abure's leadership.
However, with this INEC Abure's recognition action, the party's crisis is definitely now over and should remain a thing in the past, while other factions and stakeholders will have no more legal voice to continue to disturb the Abure led leadership ahead of the 2027 general elections.

NYESOM WIKE TO RESIGN AS FCT MINISTER OR FACE EFCC FOR MONEY LAUNDERING VIA HOUSE OWNERSHIP IN THE US USING FAMILY MEMBERS AS PROXY
Abuja, Nigeria -
Controversy surrounds FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over allegations of secretly purchasing a $2 million mansion in Florida, United States, using family members as proxies.
According to documents, the property was acquired in March 2025 under the names of Wike's wife, Justice Eberechi Wike, and their children, Joaquin, Jazmyne, and Jordan.
The development has sparked calls for Wike's resignation or investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over suspected money laundering and illicit enrichment.
Sources close to the matter revealed that Wike's annual salary and allowances of about ₦7.8 million (approximately $5,000) cannot justify the purchase of such a luxurious property.
The allegations have also raised questions about Wike's asset declaration and transparency, given his alleged omission of his name from the purchase documents.
As the controversy deepens, Wike faces mounting pressure to either resign from his position as FCT Minister or face EFCC investigation over the alleged money laundering and corruption.
The development has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability among public officials.
Remembering that it was this same NYESOM WIKE who at a time on Channels TV disregardingly accused the wife of Buhari's transport minister Rotimi Amaechi for collecting payments illegally from the NDDC for Rivers State Women empowerment projects. It's just like pot calling a kettle black when he himself is the person involved in such crimes.
Over time, Wike is known for notoriously accusing people for wrong doings anytime they cross his path politically.
WIKE is seen as a talkative and someone who is unfit to hold the position of a minister of the federal Republic if the truth needs to be told for reasons displayed so far by his character of political rasciality and disrespect for the rule of law operating in two political parties at the same time.
We are waiting to see what the president is going to do on this matter moving forward if we really want the nation to get out of this economic hardship. Sighting the president Bola Tinubu government that must understand the fact that it's time the citizens of Nigeria see him as a father to the nation and not as a cartel leader who covers all the wrongs mounted on the nation by his cronies.
Already the Bola Tinubu group has been tagged as the most corrupt regime Nigeria ever witnessed in history where Ministers loot, commit financial crimes and would be protected by the president himself.
For the people, it's either for Wike to resign or faces the EFCC for looting and illegal acquiring of landed properties by proxy in the United States with funds suspected to belong to FCT administration.
LABOUR PARTY SCORES MAJOR LEGAL VICTORY AS COURT ORDERS INEC TO UPLOAD CANDIDATES FOR BYE-ELECTIONS
In a significant development ahead of the August 16 bye-elections, the Nasarawa State High Court has ruled in favor of the Labour Party, ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Barrister Julius Abure and Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim as the party's legitimate leaders.
The court also directed INEC to upload the details of all Labour Party candidates nominated for the bye-elections without delay.
The ruling, delivered on July 23, 2025, by Justice Mustapha A. Ramat in Suit No. NSD/LF.84/2024, compels INEC to grant the Abure-led National Working Committee access to the commission's candidate portal.
This will enable them to input and publish their nominees for both the August 16 bye-elections and the 2026 FCT Area Council elections.
However, despite the court's clear directive, INEC has refused to publish the Labour Party's candidate list, raising concerns that the party is being deliberately sidelined.
This development has sparked fears that the party's candidates may be denied fair competition, a complaint that mirrors similar last-minute restrictions faced by the party in past elections.
Julius Abure National Chairman LP
Reacting to the development, Labour Party's National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, described the judgment as a "welcome intervention." However, he condemned INEC's actions as a "systemic plot" to deny Labour Party candidates fair competition.
Chief Obiora Ifoh National Publicity Secretary
Ifoh stated that the party's candidates have been robbed of the time and opportunity to campaign like others, citing similar treatment in the past, particularly in Ondo, where INEC granted the party's candidate portal access barely 24 hours before the election.
Umar Farouk Ibrahim National Secretary
The court adjourned the main case to September 22, 2025, but its interlocutory order stands, compelling INEC to act immediately.
Labour Party leaders are urging members and supporters to rally behind their candidates and ensure victory despite the odds.
This development has significant implications for the Labour Party and its candidates, and the party's ability to participate in the upcoming bye-elections.
The party's leaders and supporters are eagerly awaiting INEC's compliance with the court's order, which will enable them to move forward with their campaigns and ensure a level playing field.
Prof Mohmood Yakubu INEC Chairman
As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: the Labour Party is determined to assert its rights and participate in the electoral process, despite the challenges posed by INEC's actions.
The party's leaders and supporters are rallying behind their candidates, and they are confident that they will emerge victorious in the bye-elections.
Labour Party official Logo
In the face of this development, it remains to be seen how INEC will respond to the court's order and whether the Labour Party will be able to participate fully in the bye-elections.
One thing is certain, however: the Labour Party will continue to fight for its rights and ensure that its candidates are given a fair chance to compete.
AMAECHI CAMPAIGN SUPPORT GROUP ASK EL-RUFIA TO RUN AS VICE PRESIDENT WITH CHIBUIKE AMAECHI IN 2027 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
Abuja, Nigeria.
In a bold move to strengthen the ticket for the 2027 presidential elections, an independent self created association called the AMAECHIfied Movement Worldwide has formally requested Mallam Nasir El-Rufai to join forces with Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate.
This development was announced during a press conference held at the group's headquarters in Abuja, where members outlined their nationwide mobilization efforts ahead of the national executive council inauguration scheduled for October 1st at the Transcorp Hilton.
The AMAECHIfied Movement Worldwide, established in 2022 to promote Amaechi's political ideology, boasts a membership of over 4 million people globally.
The group's national coordinator expressed confidence in Amaechi's leadership abilities and called on Nigerians to consider his candidacy for the 2027 presidential elections seriously.
"We believe that the Amaechi-El-Rufai ticket would be a formidable force in the 2027 elections, given their combined experience and track record of service to the nation," the coordinator stated.
When contacted for a reaction, Mallam El-Rufai's media aide acknowledged receipt of the request but declined to comment further, citing the need for consultation with the principal.
The development has generated significant interest in political circles, with many Nigerians taking to social media to discuss the potential implications of an Amaechi-El-Rufai ticket.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, all eyes will be on the key players and their decisions, which could shape the future of Nigerian politics.
LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP SUPPORT IT'S CANDIDATES TO DEMAND FOR THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO VOTE AND BE VOTED FOR
Alhaji Umar Farok Ibrahim Authentic National Secretary LP
To the esteemed members of the Labour Party, the general public, and all relevant stakeholders,
We address a pressing matter concerning a recent press release by a group purported to be led by Senator Nenadi Usman, claiming to be the Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party.
This group has made unfounded claims and attempted to mislead the public regarding our party's leadership and stance on various issues.
1. LEGITIMACY OF LEADERSHIP: The Labour Party's leadership, under Barrister Julius Abure, remains intact and legitimate. The Supreme Court's judgment of April 4, 2025, did not invalidate our national officers' tenure, as falsely claimed. Instead, it addressed specific issues without affecting the overall leadership structure.
2. OFFICIAL VISIT TO INEC HEADQUARTERS: Any planned
3. should be evaluated on its merits and the issues it addresses, not the legitimacy of the organizers. The Labour Party, under its legitimate leadership, engages with INEC and stakeholders through lawful means, ensuring our candidates participate in upcoming elections.
3. ENGAGEMENT WITH INEC: We have been in constructive dialogue with INEC regarding elections and candidate submissions. We trust INEC to act on legitimate submissions.
4. CALL TO SECURITY AGENCIES: We hereby appreciate the security agencies for their prompt action in cumbing the fake protest concert planned by the Nenade Usman group to take over the national Secretariat of the party illegally a week ago and also to ensure citizen safety, including Labour Party members, and address any attempts to disrupt our operations or misrepresent our positions during this INEC visit.
Barrister Julius Abure Authentic National Chairman LP
5. PARTY LEADERSHIP & PUBLIC APPRECIATION: We appreciate our members and supporters, particularly those facing challenges with candidate nominations. We find it puzzling that some claim to be LP members yet wish harm on the party due to leadership disputes. This behavior suggests they have never genuinely supported the party.

In conclusion, we reiterate our commitment to democracy and the rule of law, working within legal frameworks to achieve our objectives and serve Nigeria.

NOTORIOUS INEC CHAIRMAN MAHMOOD YAKUBU WORKING TO HELP APC DESTABILIZE LABOUR PARTY AHEAD OF 2027
...As Labour Party Slams INEC Over Omission of Candidates in Bye-Election
The Labour Party has expressed outrage over the Independent National Electoral Commission's decision to exclude its candidates from the August 16, 2025, bye-elections.
In a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, the party described the omission as "unlawful, surprising, and an abuse of power" by INEC.
Chief Obiora Ifoh National Publicity Secretary LP
According to the Labour Party, INEC has no authority to prevent them from fielding candidates, provided they meet the requirements of the Electoral Act.
The party cited the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Acts 2022 (as amended) in asserting its rights to sponsor candidates in elections.
Prof Mahmood Yakubu INEC Chairman
But in another face of discussion some party members are saying that the INEC chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu must have been able to perform such a criminal act after getting paid from the camp of Alex Otti and Peter Obi to help make LP suffer this fate.
If not that the INEC boss is gaining from the Abia State Governor why should he be delving into a party issues that doesn't concern him in any way
The supreme Court judgement CTC is clear by saying that all leadership matters are in the total control of the party and not INEC or the court.
Barrister Julius Abure Authentic National Chairman LP
The party have been asked by the court to go settle their issues using the constitution of the party so why is INEC now refusing to allow nominated candidates from the national chairman of LP to be on the commission's portal when it gave the same Abure the privilege to send the nominated names of candidates in Ondo, Edo and Anambra States governorship.
INEC chairman is acting like a notorious political crime syndicate that is employed by the APC and the Otti camp to destabilize the labour party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Alhaji Umar Farok Ibrahim Authentic National Secretary LP
As it is right now, the court remains the only opportunity for the Abure leadership to field candidates for the BYE-ELECTION holding in some weeks time.
We are looking for anyone who can answer our questions as a Media outfit on this INEC and Abure LP leadership matters.
What powers does INEC have apart of that of the electoral act and the constitution of Nigeria on who should determine the leadership of a political party ?
Moreover, the law is very clear to who determines the leadership of a political party in Nigeria and that remains the political party itself.
So who is the POLITICAL PARTY ?
We answer by saying it's the PARTY LEADERSHIP ?
On another hand who is the PARTY LEADERSHIP ?
Our answer Remains that the party leadership is the STATUTORY.
So finally our question is who are the STATUTORY ?
The statutory of the party remains the national chairman and the national secretary in the persons of Barrister Julius Abure and Alhaji Umar Farok Ibrahim.
And by law they both have the final authority to call for a NEC meeting that can take whatever decisions on behalf of the party and which they have done in sending notification to INEC for a national convention held in 2024 in Nnewe where the NEC in session voted the Abure led leadership as the new leadership of the labour party.
Darlington Okwocha Fake Secretary
Mr Peter Obi Former Presidential Candidate LP 2023
HE ALEX OTTI Executive Governor Abia State
Nenade Usman Fake Paraded Chairman
So by the laws of our constitution and electoral act 2022 as amended, who is NLC, Nenade Usman, Peter Obi, Alex Otti, Darlington Okwocha and others that are parading themselves
today as the interim leadership of the labour party when the NEC in session has already completed the traditional rituals of the LP constitution in electing a new leadership for the party ?
While we shall talk more on this in another news bulletin but for now we must tell the world that those parading as the LP interim leadership are fake and have no legal capacity to act because in the first place the LP constitution doesn't recognize any team or group as stockholders in the party at any time.
Key Points of Contention
- INEC's Alleged Overreach: Labour Party accuses INEC of exceeding its authority by excluding their candidates.
- Supreme Court Judgment: The party insists the judgment didn't grant INEC power to meddle in internal party affairs.
- Threat of Legal Action: Labour Party vows to challenge INEC's actions if not redressed.
The Labour Party warns that proceeding with the bye-elections without their participation would be a waste of resources and time, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences and a colossal loss of monetary resources.
The party has called on Nigerians, particularly Labour Party members, to remain vigilant and pray for electoral process reforms.
