Labour Party Denies Allegations of Collusion with Tinubu Ahead of 2027 Elections
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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
