Obi, Supporters not planning Protest against Tinubu, says Labour Party

The Labour Party has condemned the Statement issued by a Presidential Aide, Bayo Onanuga linking the Party and its Candidate in the 2023 Presidential Election, Peter Obi and Supporters to an alleged forthcoming planned Nationwide Protest against President Bola Tinubu.

The Party, in a Statement by Obiora Ifoh, its National Publicity Secretary, said that it is known for being peaceful and has, on several occasions, asked its Followers to follow Peace at all times.

“The attention of the Leadership of the LP has been drawn to a Tweet from one of the Presidential Aides, Bayo Onanuga, linking it and its National Leader Peter Obi, and very many Notable Figures in the LP, to the proposed Protest.

“We say that there is no truth in that.

“Labour Party is known for being a very Peaceful Party and it has, on several occasions, asked its Followers to follow Peace at all times.

“We are not known as a Lawless Group, as was evident in the aftermath of the last General Elections.

“It is, therefore, wrong for anyone to link our Supporters to the planned Protest. Labour Party, Peter Obi and our Supporters are not planning any Protests,” Ifoh said.
