The Labour Party (LP) says its supporters are not behind the planned nationwide protest.
July 21, 2024 8:36 amThe Labour Party says its supporters are not behind a planned nationwide protest against hunger.supporters of LP and Peter Obi, its candidate in the 2023 presidential election, are organisers of the proposed nationwide protest.
Onanuga also claimed that the promoters of the planned protest are the same individuals who “hijacked” theIn a statement, Obiora Ifoh, LP spokesperson, said “there is no truth” in Onanuga’s claim, adding that it is the “figment of his 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,” the statement reads.
“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.The opposition party said while its supporters are not organising any nationwide demonstration, protest is the right of every citizen.
“However, peaceful protests all over the world are initiated and executed by the people and not by the opposition,” LP said. “No opposition has any control over protests. Popular protests such as in Kenya, Egypt and several other places were a direct registration of the people’s frustration against the government.“It is, therefore, puerile for the government or anyone for that matter to begin to look for who to blame for the bad governance that is being witnessed in Nigeria today.The party said presidential aides should be cautioned against making “incendiary pronouncements capable of combusting the nation”.
