The Edo State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) is facing fresh internal conflict following the issuance of a seven-day ultimatum by governorship aspirant Kenneth Imasuagbon.
Imasuagbon, known as the “Rice Man” for his philanthropic initiatives, is contesting the outcome of the party’s primary election, which declared him the loser.
Imasuagbon alleges irregularities in the conduct of the ward congresses that led to the selection of his opponent, Blessing Akpata, as the party’s flagbearer. He claims these irregularities contradict assurances of a fair playing field received from the party leadership.
