fears high for opponents, their apologists



The ongoing National Convention of the Labour Party (LP) holding at the Grand Seasons Hotel, Nnewi Anambra state has witnessed a disturbing trend with the barring broad spectrum of the media from entering the venue.  

The move, observers pointed out was unbecoming and inexplicable as their National Publicity Secretary, one Obiorah Ifoh had gone inside early morning. Series of calls and messages were sent to him urging him to approach the front desk with the necessary tags with him but for more than three and half hours he didn't show up.  

However, no fewer than five hoodlums said to be distributing inciting leaflets critical of the party leadership we're arrested and whisked to the police headquarters. 

The youngmen  who were accused of trying to cause distress to the ongoing convention have been moved out of the venue. 

A party source say the intention of the boys and their sponsors was to destabilize the convention. 

LP has been experiencing crisis following party leadership tussle over who becomes the national chairman of the party, a move many political watchers see as discouraging.

A source said the leaders we're managing every information currently.

DR JOHN NWOKEABIA LAUDS LABOUR PARTY FAITHFUL IN ENUGU STATE.

  The Leader of Labour Party in Enugu West Dr John Okechukwu Nwokebia has Commended the Labour Party faithful over their Conduct in yesterday's Local government Council Election in Enugu State. Gentlemen of the Labor Party, what the PDP and Enugu State Government did in making sure that the ENSIEC LGA elections were not free and fair did not come as a surprise to us.  They made it known through their agents that they were going to write the results of the elections even before the votes were cast. That was why there were no results sheets delivered in any pooling boot in Enugu State.  This was possible because PDP was the judge and the jury in the conduct of their elections. As a result, the will of the people was suppressed, resulting in another setback for Nigeria democracy.  I encourage our labor party members not to be dismayed because the PDP are cowards. It's only a coward who would incidously execute such mayhem against the right of the people with the cover o...

 From Chuks Collins, Abuja ... frown at his misleading petition against PG The lingering local ruffling of leadership feathers in Alor Commonly, Idemili South Council of Anambra State may have assumed a disturbing dimension. And the hitherto traditional ruler of the community, Chief McAnthony Okonkwo who was dethroned by an Anambra High Court few years ago may be arrested in consequence. Okonkwo had petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Force Headquarters against the President General of Alor, Chief  Emma Ojukwu, alleging amongst other things, that the PG has not been respecting or according him due regard as the traditional ruler of Alor. That the PG has not been extending invitations to him for attendance of key meetings/events in the community in his capacity as its traditional ruler. Consequently, a team of twelve heavily armed policemen invaded the Lagos residence of Chief Ojukwu. The sight of this army of armed police officers sent shock waves and intense fears int...
