The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has declared that the party will not join the coalition of opposition political parties led by the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
Abure said LP couldn’t be a part of such a movement, stating that those championing the coalition lacked courage, competence and character” to drive the process.
He stated this at the emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of the party at the LP secretariat in Abuja, on Friday.
The LP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi and the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Dr Yunusa Tanko, are key stakeholders in the coalition.
The Labour Party is not and will not be part of any coalition towards the 2027 general election. Instead, we will focus on rebuilding, repositioning, re-strategising, reconciling, and expanding our membership base to win the 2027 elections.
