Labour Party Peter Obi Abure

The Labour Party denies the Presidency’s claims that Peter Obi and his supporters are behind the planned anti-government protests scheduled for August 1.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Labour Party has refuted claims made by the Presidency that its presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, and his supporters are behind the planned nationwide anti-government protest scheduled for August 1.

The Presidency described calls for the nationwide protests under the hashtags #TinubuMustGo and #Revolution2024 as treasonable.

EDITOR’S PICK

In a lengthy tweet published on his X account on Saturday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused Peter Obi and his supporters of spreading the hashtags, alleging that “They are not democrats but anarchists.”

The Labour Party leadership has refuted these claims and warned against dragging Obi into the rising tension surrounding the planned protest.

In a statement titled ‘Obi, Labour Party not involved in ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest,’ National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, reiterated that it was wrong of Onanuga to link the LP and its national leader to the proposed protest.

He said, “We say there is no truth in the tweet. It is just the figment of the author’s imagination. Labour Party is known for being a very peaceful party, and it has on several occasions asked its followers to follow peace at all times. We are not known as a lawless group, as was evident in the aftermath of the last general election. It is therefore delusional for anyone to link our supporters to the planned protest. Labour Party, Peter Obi, and our supporters are not planning any protests.

“It is therefore puerile for the government or anyone, for that matter, to begin to look for whom to blame for the bad governance witnessed in Nigeria today. Nigeria can still get it right if the right policies are initiated. We also advise that some aides of the Presidency must be cautioned to avoid incendiary pronouncements capable of combusting the nation, all in the name of playing politics.”
