The Labour Party, LP, has stated that it is currently not operating any social media accounts, warning the general public against being misled by false information circulated in the party’s name.
This clarification was contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Ken Asogwa, Senior Special Adviser on Media to the party’s Interim National Chairman.
Asogwa said the attention of the party’s leadership had been drawn to a fake X account operating under the name “Nigeria Labour Party (LP)” with the handle @NewsLp26689.
He explained that a review of the account showed it was created in January 2026, shortly after the Federal High Court judgment affirming Nenadi Usman as the interim national chairman of the party.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Labour Party’s only known social media accounts on Facebook and X, which are currently not in use, are as follows: Facebook: Labour Party Nig with approximately 12,000 followers and X: LabourPartyNG with about 839,000 followers.
“Following the recent Federal High Court judgment affirming Sen. Usman’s leadership of the party, the Labour Party has formally written to the erstwhile leadership to hand over these official social media accounts.
“The party remains hopeful that this process will be concluded peacefully and without rancour.
“Once the accounts are fully retrieved or restored, the general public will be duly informed,” Asogwa said.
According to him, all official communications in the interim are conveyed strictly through duly approved press statements issued from the Office of the Interim National Chairman.
“Should this mode of communication change, the public will be appropriately notified.
“In view of the foregoing, the general public is hereby warned to disregard any information emanating from the so called “Nigeria Labour Party (LP)” account with the handle @NewsLp26689.
“The account is a parody and is not authorised by the leadership of the Labour Party,” he stated.
Asogwa also conveyed the party’s appreciation to the media for their vigilance, professionalism, and unbiased reportage on matters concerning the Labour Party.
