Ahead of the Saturday's governorship election in Rivers State, the State Labour Party chapter, on Tuesday denied any form of alliance with any political party in Rivers State.
National Chairman of Labour Party, Barr. Julius Abure, made the denial in a statement adding that as preparation for this Saturday's Governorship/State House of Assembly elections enter final preparations, the Labour Party is leaving nothing to chance in ensuring that their candidates didn't not only participate, but win at the ballot.
Abure was reacting to the wide speculations on social media and mainstream media that the LP had collapsed it's structure for the People's Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for the March 11, governorship election stating that the reports were false.
According to him, political opportunists want to leverage on the popularity of the party in the state to create confusion among the supporters of the Labour Party.
He said it's necessary to put things correct given reports from some political opportunists from other political platforms, claiming that they have reached an agreement with Obidients and LP supporters to cast their ballots for them in this Saturday's polls.
"We want to state categorically and unequivocally that the national secretariat of LP has not given any instructions for any chapter of the party to liaise or support any candidate except LP candidates in this Saturday's polls.
"Our members should not only go out and vote, but follow the process to a conclusive end as provided by the Law.
"We encourage millions of the electorate who believe in LP presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi and the philosophy of the party not to be deterred, but troop out en masse and vote for all LP candidates anywhere in the country.
"The LP is not in any alliance with any political party in the run-up to this Saturday's polls." He said.
