Benue Labour Party not in any alliance, we stand for Tinubu and LP, says Ochonu

Labour Party

From Scholastica Hir, Makurdi

The Labour Party in Benue State says it is not in any strategic alliance with any political party, but stands for President Bola Tinubu and its own candidates.

State Chairman William Ochonu said this in a statement in Makurdi on Tuesday, reacting to a circulating list of prominent individuals in a purported strategic partnership with an unnamed party.

“We are not in a coalition,” he said. “We are Labour Party, and we stand on our own.” He said the party is mobilising Benue voters for Tinubu and all its candidates.

He said the party would soon unveil an independent campaign council across the 23 local government areas and will not fold its logo, candidates or mobilisation into another party’s structure.

Ochonu said candidates are free to form personal alliances, but the party’s message remains “Vote Labour Party from top to bottom, and vote President Tinubu for continuity.” He rejected claims of confusion.
