The Labour Party, LP has asked all election petition tribunals to disregard letters by its suspended National Legal Adviser, Samuel Akingbade, withdrawing all the party’s petitions.
Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, stated, in Abuja, that the presidential election petition tribunal in particular should dismiss the letter.
He also called on the Police, the Department of State Services, DSS and anti-graft agencies to arrest and prosecute the party’s former officials involved in the letter before they succeed in igniting the nation.
Recall that the Party’s suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa has approached all election tribunals wherein LP has pending matters, including that of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, asking for withdrawal of cases.
He added that the plan was to frustrate Labour Party’s destined victory at the tribunals and also to derail the country’s fledgling democracy.
