Labour Party Shuns Opposition Alliance and Focuses on 2027 Comeback
The Labour Party has made it clear that it won’t be joining any opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This decision was made known by the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja. According to him, the party is more focused on putting its house in order rather than aligning with any political coalition.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the PDP is reportedly working to unite opposition forces with the goal of unseating President Bola Tinubu in the next election. Speculations have also linked him to possible talks with Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s former presidential candidate.
However, in the communique released after the NEC meeting, Abure stated that the party is taking a different route. He explained that Labour Party will channel its energy into healing internal wounds, strengthening its structures, and preparing independently for the 2027 elections. He called on all aggrieved members to return and work together for the party’s progress.
The statement also reaffirmed the Labour Party’s belief in democracy and its determination to contribute meaningfully to national development through peaceful and strategic growth.
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
