The Labour Party, LP, has warned federal lawmakers, especially members of the House of Representatives, elected on its platform, to respect the party’s supremacy or face disciplinary action.
The party issued the warning in a statement released on
Monday by Obiora Ifoh, its National Publicity Secretary.
The statement said that the lawmakers have failed to be true
ambassadors of the people and the Labour Party, considering the sacrifices made
by Nigerians in electing them.
Ifoh specifically said that the attention of the leadership
of the party has been drawn to a statement made by the LP’s caucus leader in
the House of Representatives, Hon Afam Ogene, saying it is unconventional to
conduct convention before state, local government and ward congresses.
