The national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Julius Abure has dissolved the Rivers State Executive Council of the party, based on gross anti-party and corruption with immediate effect.
The party spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, in a statement issued on Tuesday, 7th March 2023 stated that the chairman believes that it’s in the interest of Labour Party and the Obidient movement in Rivers State that those who were at the helm of affairs in Rivers State when our presidential mandate was openly stolen in State step aside until a full investigation is completed.
Okonkwo said that the National Chairman has also lost confidence in the ability of the State Executive Council led by Deinye Pepple to lead the campaign ahead of the forthcoming Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections on Saturday, 11th March.
The National Chairman urges all Obidients in Rivers State to disregard every comment made by the disgraced State Chairman of the Labour Party, Deinye Pepple, on the election of March 11th and reiterates the full backing of the Labour Party on the candidacy of Comrade Beatrice Itubo of the Labour Party as the next Governor of Rivers State.
He urged all Obidients in Rivers State to come out massively on March 11th to vote for Comrade Beatrice Itubo of the Labour Party.
