The Labour Party (LP) in Anambra State, has denied collapsing its structure into the African Democratic Change (ADC).
In a statement issued to newsmen on Friday, the LP said: “our attention has been drawn to a recent claim that the Anambra State Labour Party structure has collapsed into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“This claim is not only false, it is also misleading and a calculated political illusion aimed at confusing our teeming supporters, to create artificial momentum for unpopular candidates.”
Linus Oguejiofor, Deputy Publicity Secretary, Labour Party, Anambra State who signed the statement added that: “Let it be clearly stated that the Labour Party in Anambra remains strong, united and fully intact.
He said, “Our party structure is not only operational but deeply committed to the mission of reclaiming Anambra for good governance.
“Our leader, HE Mr. Peter Obi, the face of hope and the symbol of a new Nigeria, remains firmly and rooted in the Labour Party. He will personally lead our governorship campaign, where he will stand solidly behind our candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, in the guber upcoming election,” the statement further said.
“Any suggestion of a merger or a collapse is a fabrication born out of fear and desperation. It insults the political consciousness of Ndi Anambra and seek to distort the truth for cheap political advantage.
“We also wish to clarify that although the Labour Party is engaged in a national coalition for the 2027 general elections, this coalition does not affect our internal structures or governorship candidacy in Anambra State.
“Coalition agreements explicitly stated that political parties contesting off-cycle elections will maintain their full identity and field their own candidates.
“We call on our supporters to remain vigilant and beware of political merchants who are attempting to exploit the noble intentions of the coalition to mislead and sway the public.”
