The Labour Party (LP) has firmly rejected claims that it is collaborating with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the 2027 elections.

The allegations, made by human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju in a viral video, were addressed in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.

The LP emphasized its role as the leading opposition party, with its National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, consistently criticizing the current administration’s policies.

The party highlighted its post-2023 election efforts to hold the government accountable while advocating for reforms in Nigeria’s electoral system.

According to Ifoh, the LP remains committed to credible governance and dismissed any insinuations of collusion as baseless.

Describing Adeyanju’s claims as damaging and unfounded, the party challenged him to provide evidence to support his allegations.

The LP reaffirmed its stance as a principled opposition force determined to ensure fair and transparent leadership selection processes in the country.

A 25-year-old Indian man, Rohitash Kumar, narrowly escaped being cremated alive in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, after being mistakenly declared dead by hospital staff.

Kumar, who had hearing and speech difficulties, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday following an epileptic seizure. A doctor declared him dead without conducting a mandatory postmortem examination, and his body was sent for cremation.

As the funeral pyre was about to be lit, witnesses noticed Kumar’s body moving. He was immediately taken back to the hospital, where he died the next day during treatment.

The incident has led to the suspension of three doctors, with police launching an investigation into the negligence. Authorities have promised strict action to prevent such errors in the future.
