Bauchi State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has dissociated itself from the stance of the Forum of the Nineteen States and FCT Chairmen and Secretaries of the party stating that the Forum is non-existence.
The Bauchi LP addressed Journalists in Bauchi on Friday through Mohammed Sabitu Aliyu, Ag. Chairman and Danlami Idi Danladi Ag. Secretary jointly.
Reading the text of the conference, Mohammed Sabitu Aliyu stated that, “The attention of Bauchi state Labour Party Executives has been drawn to the news broadcast by AIT and some Online /Social Media in which some few individuals claimed to be Northern States’ Chairmen and Secretaries made some statements which are hereby refuted.”
According to him,”The entire elected officials of Labour Party of Bauchi State and indeed the entire Northern States’ Executives wish to disclaim and refute the positions of some few individuals who masqueraded as leaders of the 19 northern states.”
The Ag Chairman added that,”We categorically say that they are not the Executives of the 19 Northern States and especially their spokesperson was deposed from his position due to his anti – party activities when the party was battling to reclaim her stolen mandate.”
He added that, “The acclaimed persons are group of disgruntled, frustrated and treacherous people who worked against the parties efforts in the time of need, furthermore they are political power mongers seeking for attention through such malicious and baseless claims in the name of northern region.”
“As you are all aware, the National Convention of the great Labour Party took place in Nnewi Anambra state on the 27th March 2024 in which the new National Executives were elected,” he added.
The Ag Chairman further stated that, “At that time, all and equal representatives of the delegates from the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) participated in the process.”
According to him, “at that time the Northern interest was fully taken care of and protected through the election of the following officers: National Secretary; National Assistant Secretary;
National Organizing Secretary; National Women Leader; Assistant National Legal Adviser and Deputy Youth leader.”
Aliyu Sabitu therefore declared that,”The entire Bauchi State and other Northern states’ Labour Party Executives are solidly behind the National Working Committee’s (NWC) decision to zone the position of the presidential flag bearer to the Southern part of the country come 2027 when ban on political activities are lifted.”
According to him,”To put the record straight and the avoidance of doubt, the newly elected party officials are the ones that will pilot the affairs of the party for the next four years as enshrine in the party’s constitution.”
The Ag Chairman added that, “Furthermore, their records and pedigree shows that they are great personalities that understands Nigeria very well and knows the importance of carrying everybody along in the scheme of things.”
He stressed that, “Labour party remains the only party that can take Nigeria out of the woods, a hope of the masses and voice for the voiceless of our nation, that is why it fields the best candidate in person of His Excellency, Peter G. Obi in the last general elections and knows really well how to manage diversity.” END
