Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, has said that expelled and suspended members of the party were being used by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to cause chaos within its ranks.
Ifoh specifically charged that the former acting National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, and the current Deputy National Chairman (South), Lamidi Apapa, who he claimed was expelled by the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, were the targets of the distabilization plot.
Ifoh in a statement, in Abuja, yesterday, said: “I had refused to join issues with the expelled former acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi and the suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa on their mischievous narratives of the ‘May 29 handover’ to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s declared winner of the presidential election.

The Labour Party actually does not want to make any comments on the subject, whose hearing at the presidential appeal tribunal has already started.
However, the content of the message, which was read as commercial in around three television stations in prime time hours implies that the true sponsors of the crisis in the Labour Party will stop at nothing in ensuring that they perpetuate the imbroglio.
“The huge financial war-chest being deployed to achieve this inglorious plot to halt a popular aspiration of millions of Nigerians for a new and prosperous nation, leaves a huge gap on the dexterity and desperation of these evil plotters.
“In all Peter Obi’s public and private statements, he has never said or by implication, insinuate that May 29 should be shifted. He is a democrat and he is one person that believes so much in the judiciary as the last arbiter, and that is why he has resorted to the court to seek justice.

“Having said that, we are perturbed by the mouth-piece with which the APC chose to express their fears. The possibility of not making it to Eagles Square on May 29, has continued to give them sleepless night and migraine and has pushed them into deploying an already compromised and fallen members of the Labour Party, led by Apapa and Arabambi as their compere to sing a song danced only by themselves. What we are seeing today is simply ‘the Hand of Esau, Voice of Jacob’.
“Nigerians already know that you are sponsored to work against the presidential ambition of Peter Obi. No one is in doubt of Apapa camp’s altruistic ambition to remain a destructive agent in the Labour Party.
“Few weeks ago, you will recall how we alerted Nigerians of plots by this faction to withdraw the cases filled by some of our candidates at the tribunals, allegations they are yet to exonerate themselves. We have also alerted Nigerians how these men, who have no known source of income are now flying private jets and living in 5-star hotels.

“This will be the height of the APC’s evil plot and executed by Apapa and his gang to frustrate the peaceful judicial process being witnessed by Nigerians. They are hoping to inject tumultuous scene and probably force the process to a halt.”
