The Edo State chapter of the Labour Party has vehemently denied allegations of a secret alliance with the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the September 21 governorship election.
The party also dismissed claims of receiving N1.6 billion from the Presidency.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Labour Party Publicity Secretary Sam Uruopa described the allegations as “baseless” and a “desperate attempt” to tarnish the reputation of their governorship candidate, Olu Akpata. Uruopa emphasized that Akpata’s campaign is self-funded and transparent, with no involvement from the APC or Presidency.
