The leaders of the Labour Party in Ogun State have been forewarned against trying to sell the party to opportunistic politicians.
The caution was made by the chairmen in a statement released on Thursday following an emergency meeting held in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
The party leaders from the state’s 20 local government districts asked stakeholders to avoid transactional politics and to turn a fresh page in order to support the party’s growth.

The chairmen issued a warning that anyone found guilty of attempting to manipulate the Labour Party to make money for personal advantage will face drastic sanctions. However, they stated that they were willing to cooperate with all disgruntled party members and that the party needed time to “heal from inflicted wounds and infestations.”
The national working committee headed by Julius Abure received a vote of confidence from the party chairmen as well.
The party chairmen decided that the current status quo regarding the suspension of Abayomi Arabambi and other state officials remained valid while supporting the new publicity secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh.
The statement added: “We pass a vote of confidence in the national working committee of Labour Party, ably led by Julius Abure and do recognise him still as the national chairman of the party while disregarding every other individual parading themselves as leaders of the party as against the decision of the NEC.

“In our collective resolve to build a party that works for all, we hereby sound a clear note of warning to all transactional politicians still lurking around in the party to turn a new leaf as the days of their perpetuation with impunity where they sell off an entire political party to the highest bidder while pocketing the money which is a case of modern political slavery, are now gone. The real owners are now ready to occupy their rightful political house.
“We wish to assure our members across the state to remain unwavering and that the displays of greedy politicians in our party are just that of a dying era.
“The Forum therefore hereby resolves to stand by the existing status quo regarding the suspension of Mr Abayomi Arabambi and other state leaders, including the former state chairman, Pastor Michael Asade, while waiting for their eventual expulsion from the party.”
