The Labour Party (LP), on Monday, said that the party would
not alter the principles of federal character in its choice of a vice
presidential candidate.
Barr. Julius Abure, Labour Party Chairman, made this known
while speaking in commemoration of Democracy Day.
Abure said the principle of social-religious inclusion and
the diversity of the Nigerian workforce and membership of the Labour Party
would not be compromised in its choice.
He added that although the decision lies with its
presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the party’s choice of a vice president will
most likely come from the northern region.
“While I want to say that it may be too premature for me to
speak, and the constitution also gives the presidential candidate the right to
nominate his vice presidential candidate, I feel it would be more proper for
the presidential candidate to answer.
“However, I want to assure you that as a party that is
reasonable; as a party that believes in equity and justice; as a party that
believes in social justice and equal opportunity for all, a vice-presidential
candidate that is widely accepted, with powerful credentials, is most likely
going to come from the Northern region, there is no doubt about that.”
