The Labour Party (LP) in Kwara has suspended Basambo
Abubakar, the governorship candidate of the party in the state, for alleged
anti-party activities.
Basambo’s suspension comes in the wake of his endorsement of
Shuaib Abdullahi, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in Kwara.
Speaking with journalists on Tuesday, Kehinde Rotimi, the
Kwara LP chairman, said the LP has not joined forces with any party for the
governorship and state assembly polls billed for Saturday.
Rotimi said Abubakara has no authority to announce the
alignment of the LP with another party.
He called on supporters of the party to troop out en masse
and vote for the state assembly candidates of the party.
“We are here to set the record straight. Labour Party is a
political party with ideology, based on social justice and equality. Labour Party
had not adopted candidacy of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship
candidate, Shuaib Yaman Abdulahi, as said by Basambo Abubakar,” Rotimi said.
“He has no such authority to issue such statement on behalf
of the party. We are in a very sober mood right now, because of our
presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, who was massively voted for by
Nigerians, but Nigerian system came into being as usual.
“Currently, he is
challenging the result of the election in court. So, it is morally wrong for us
to come out and say we are adopting another party for governorship election
against the wish of our presidential candidate.”
