The attention of the Labour Party, Abia State Chapter has been drawn to a radio announcement issued by the Former Chairman of the Labour Party in the state, Mr. Ceekay Igara directing members of the public on where to purchase nomination forms for the Party’s Primaries ahead of the forthcoming Local Government Election in the state.
The public is hereby enjoined to disregard the unauthorised and misleading announcement, because Mr. Igara’s tenure had expired alongside other members of the state and national working committees ، which prompted INEC to cease to recognise them. It is on this basis that the party set a National Caretaker Committee chaired by Senator Esther Nenadi Usman.
Any statement or instruction concerning the affairs of the party shall emanate from the Caretaker Committee. Anything to the contrary should be viewed as an act of impersonation, and properly reported to the appropriate quarters.
The Labour Party Abia State is not interested in extorting members of the public nor obtaining money from them by trick, hence we are poised to ensure that the sale of forms and selection of candidates are done in a responsible, orderly and peaceful manner so as to ensure that peace reigns even after the exercise.
