A faction of the Labour Party on Wednesday distanced itself from for interim government in Nigeria following resentments that trailed the conduct of the last presidential election.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Bauchi State, the party urged security agencies to treat any of its members involved in the attempt to foist interim government on the country as an enemy of democracy.
The faction also cleared the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, his running mate, Yusuf Dati; the Abia State Governor-elect, Alex Oti; and others for attending the April 18 NEC meeting convened by the party’s substantive national chairman, Julius Abure, in Asaba, Delta State.
