Labour Party (Nigeria)

Jando did what he did.

So I went to Labour Party and then ADC.

That's already four in 10 years.

And I don't just move parties because there must be a fundamental reason.

By the time he returned in the afternoon he was in PDP.

By the evening of next week he was campaigning for Labour Party.

[laughs] Praise the Lord.

What's the point I'm making? God is not in any one of those parties.

This is our money that our president is spending.

The faction of members of the Labour Party in Alimosh to the ADC were violently disrupted.

Governors remain leaders of the APC in states.

Credit it to President Bola Metinobu.

Presidency spends $34 billion on travels in two

years.

The faction of members of the Labour Party in Alimoche to the ADC were violently disrupted.

Governors remain leaders of the APC in states.

Let me call them." That was how they ended up with Peter Mbah, and he said, "Yes, I have the money." They say, "Okay, come to Enugu." And he came.

In their PDP settlement politics, the guy that ran under Labour Party, the Edo Oga guy, was supposed to be the person that it was supposed to be his turn under, you know, uh, they ran a government of, uh, nwa boy.

Yeah.

Nwa boy politics.

Turn by turn.

Turn by turn.

[laughs] So when he got to this 2023, they say, "Ah, it's now time for the highest bidder." So this, our governor came and he put down the money, and they say, "Okay, you're going to run." That was where the Labour Party guy moved from PDP to Labour Party, and he went and ran and accidentally this, uh, our current governor of Enugu State won it.

And so this politics of the highest bidder is why Also in the southeast, we seem not to make progress the way states like Akwa Ibom make progress because it's always the political parties are always looking for the highest bidder.

So if you check sections, uh, 77 subsection five and subsection seven of the Electoral Act 2026, it addressed membership registers and the consequences of non-compliance.

So the Supreme Court also recently restored these specific provisions in the case of INEC against the NEXT Labor Party on the 24th of September 2026.

So that's the position.

When issues like this comes up, who bears the legal responsibility when, um, a political party fails to comply with electoral requirements, just like, like, um, INEC had also said? Is it the party, its candidates, or the both of them?

So evidence of his PDP membership, the date his name was entered in the register, and when the register was actually submitted to INEC must be proven, which has to be between 21st of April and 10th of May 2026, according to item two of INEC's timetable for the 2022, uh, 2027 elections-

Mm

... which was equally affirmed by the Supreme Court in the recent case of INEC against NEXT Labor Party.

And then thirdly, they also need to establish the correct interpretation of Section 77 of the Electoral Act 2026.

This is our money our president is spending.

The, the faction of members of the Labour Party in Alimosho to the ADC were violently disrupted.

Governors remain leaders of the APC in states.

Credit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Now, the difference, however, is what led to the creation of the coalition that led to the African Democratic Congress, that realization that the political elite generally have been discredited by what we have done or failed to do over the years.

And now these politicians came together, political leaders came together from their different political parties, Labor Party, SDP, PDP, and all that, and even APC, they came together and said, look, we need to redeem ourselves by forming this coalition that will be anchored on a new philosophy of politics and a new philosophy of governance.

And that's what led to the coalition of the African Democratic.

And that's why I say the issue is bigger than just focusing on an individual ambition.

Okay.

Now, uh, how much could personal ambitions, because we could see that during the course of twenty twenty-three general election, we have something like Labor Party, we have something like PDP, ADC.

These three, these three parties are kind of the strongest party, uh, parties in twenty twenty-three, aside from the NNPP, you know, that, uh, Kwankwaso also contested then, but it's more like a regional thing.

So now that we are having NDC, ADC and APC as, you know, strongest parties, and it- can ADC and NDC come together and try to say they can defeat the ADC, if possible, if personal ambitions, regional interests, and the structure of the different opposition parties, you know, will not influence their ability to form a united front?

Yes, I can hear you.

All right, sir.

So based on your own, uh, you know, political interest now, so how well are Lagosians, you know, trying to see how they can also vote NDC? And do you think the, the, what happened in twenty twenty-three where Labor Party tend to have like a lot of votes in the state will maybe eventually play out again in twenty twenty-seven?

Definitely.
