The national leadership of the Labour Party (LP) has raised alarm over fake Interim Executive Committee (IEC), in Ogun State Chapter of the party, and equally dissociated itself from the group trying to hijack its structure in Ogun State.

Penpushing reports that National Publicity Secretary of the party Obiora Ifoh, made this known in a statement while dismissing the committee, explaining that its only legally recognised executive in the state is the Lookman Jagun-led Caretaker Committee, constituted by the National Executive Committee (NEC).

The statement pointed out that the move by the so-called Interim Executive Committee (IEC), is an attempt to hijack the party and desecrate its constitution, declaring that the party would not allow any individual or group to arrogate powers to themselves.

‘The Labour Party has a structure and a valid constitution that governs its operations, and all members are expected to abide by the party’s constitution. The party does not permit or encourage members to arrogate powers and functions to themselves without recourse to the constitution or the national leadership’, Ifoh wrote.

“Faithful party members in Ogun State are advised to be wary of the antics and activities of the self-styled IEC, as they do not enjoy the support or validation of the national leadership of the Labour Party’, he added.

“We also urge every member and intending member to participate in the ongoing e-membership registration and revalidation exercise to be eligible to partake in the activities of the party, including the congresses that will commence in February 2025 across the nation’, Ifoh said.
