THE ASSASSINATION OF THE CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER (CSO) TO DR OLUSEGUN AGAGU OF ONDO STATE: THE FUTILITY OF DR AGAGU’S GOVERNMENT TO DIVERT ATTENTION

Gentlemen of the press, we have invited you today to bring to public attention a very chilling macabre dance by the Ondo State Government under the leadership of Dr. Agagu, all in an attempt to appropriate a mandate that does not belong to him.

The Labour Party (LP) today in Abuja described the N10 per litre or 15.4 per cent hike in the price of fuel as a ``devilish parting gift''.

The Federal Government at the weekend approved the increase in the prices of PMS (petrol) and DPK (kerosene) from N65 per litre to N75 per litre and N54 per litre to N64 per litre, respectively.

The pump price of AGO (diesel) has already been deregulated and currently sold at about a N100 per litre.

PRESS STATEMENT

LABOUR PARTY WARNS CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR ON ANAMBRA POLLS

The Labour Party (LP) has warned the Central Bank Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, to stop meddling in the politics of Anambra State.
The Party gave the warning in a statement signed and issued today in Abuja by its National Chairman, Barr. Dan Nwanyanwu mni.

Labour Party said that it has information to the effect that Soludo is trying to subvert the course of democracy in Anambra by imposing his cousin and Personal Assistant, Mr. Chike Anyaonu, on the people of Aguata Federal Constituency.

The Labour Party formerly known as Party for Social Democratic (PSD) is one of the parties registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, even before the registration exercise, the Labour Party was an organization reality. This is more so given its antecedents, which derive from a rich heritage of progressive and labour-based intervention in national poitics.
Image All the same, the Party appreciated INEC's courage in submitting itself to the provisions of the Nigerian consistution and the rule of law on registration of parties. The party herby acknoledges that INEC's decision has opened a new chapter in the nation's politics by removing the military imposed selective and restrictive multi-party system.

The Labour Party will demonstrate that it is still possible to form and conduct the affairs of a political party on identifiable ideology, i.e. progressive issue-based politics.

Therefore, we boldly affirm that the Party’s principles, objectives and character shall be unreservedly rooted in the ideology of Social Democracy. Consequently, the vision of the Labour Party is to urgently transform all facets of the Nigerian nation with a view to:-

• Ensure job-led growth and transform the Economy.
