…raises alarm over plot conspiracy to destroy partyThe Labour Party , has vowed to do everything within the ambit of the law to reclaim the seats recently vacated by six of its lawmakers in the Enugu State House of Assembly.
Olorunfemi said, “The political ill wind has once again blown in Enugu state. The Labour Party is once again the object of attack and this time it is politics taken too far. “Of course, being the minority, they wanted the majority presence in the state Assembly, by so doing they would have secured the badly needed assurance of safety of the executive.
“He had claimed that the plot was aimed at punishing him for insisting on the mandate he won in the March 18, 2023 House of Assembly Election. “Labour Party is a law abiding entity which has enormous confidence in the rule of law, however what we have seen in this matter is a manifestation of rot in the system which ordinarily should be protecting the ordinary man.
“For our albatross, the only thing that can stop Labour Party from coming out victorious is to conduct the election without the participation of the Labour Party and the only way is to put away our candidate behind bars. It said, “This, we see as undue interference from the executive in order to achieve premeditated action. Right to a fair hearing is a right gifted by the laws of the land.
“Again, we ask, did the judge have the jurisdiction to entertain the matter? The community had applied to discontinue the matter and wanted the matter transferred to another magistrate court in Enugu South Magisterial Court over alleged bias clearly exhibited by the trial magistrate. “ Why did the magistrate refuse all entreaties by the Akwuke community to settle the matter internally.
“This is nothing but executive rascality on display and we urge Nigerians to rise up to condemn this action and to also defend the democracy which has been under constant threat. “For this reason, we insist that on no account should the Labour Party be disenfranchised from contesting the Enugu South Rural Constituency election or any other election for that matter, in which we are qualified to participate.
