Abia Labour Party Refutes Claims Of Collaboration With ZLP, YPP, As Party Appoints New LGA Caretaker Committees.
The State Working Committee of the Labour Party in Abia State has refuted claims making rounds by desperate politicians that the Party is in collaboration and or partnership with the ZLP and the YPP in the recently conducted LG elections in Abia State.
This was contained in a press release on 21 November 2024 from the party’s SWC signed by the Acting State Chairman, Prince Ndubueze G,O and the Acting State Publicity Secretary, Hon Tobias Egeonu and made available to Trustbase news.
The statement reads;
“There is also no collaboration or partnership between Labour Party, Zenith Labour Party and Young Progressive Party in the last local government election in Abia State and after.
“Any officers of the Labour Party who identified with the Zenith Labour Party or Young Progressive Party in the last election should remain in those parties.
“Any officers who were previously members of the Labour Party but now identified with the ZLP and or YPP should return all properties of the Labour Party within their custody to the part with immediate effect.
“Any officers of the Labour Party who openly worked for ZLP and YPP in the last election are by this notice relieved of his or her position”
