Labour Party Dissolves Rivers Chapter Over Corruption

The national chairman of the Labour Party (LP) Julius Abure has dissolved the Labour Party State Executive Council of Rivers State with immediate effect, for gross anti-party activities and corruption in the management.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the party spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, 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.

The National Chairman added that he has lost confidence in the ability of the compromised State Executive Council led by Deinye Pepple to lead the campaign for the Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections on March 11th.

He 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, therefore, enjoins all Obidients to come out massively on March 11th to vote for Comrade Beatrice Itubo of Labour Party.
