The leadership of the Labour Party has clarified that the letter sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by a factional group and former members of the party led by Lamidi Apapa to recognise Anderson Uwadiae Asemote and Monday Ojore Mawa as the gubernatorial and deputy governorship candidates did not emanate from it.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the Julius Abure-led party, it said that Nigerians were sufficiently aware that the authors of the letter in circulation were fraudulent and desperate people seeking recognition and working towards obtaining by tricks from unsuspecting Nigerians as they had done in recent elections.
