Allegations of Deceit Against Labour Party by Judiciary Following Mass Exodus of Obidients with Polling Unit Results in 2023 - Arabambi's Claim
Headline: Labour Party's Election Woes: A National Publicity Secretary Claims Agents Ran Off With Result Sheets
Kickoff: The aftermath of the 2023 presidential election has seen its fair share of controversy, and the Labour Party (LP) is no exception. Abayomi Arabambi, the party's National Publicity Secretary, has conspiratorially alleged that several election agents associated with the Obidient movement skipped town with election results from their respective polling units.
In a candid interview with Arise Television, Arabambi disclosed that the Labour Party was unable to account for a whopping 54,000 polling units during the election tribunal due to the agents' daring disappearing act. He accused the party of keeping Nigerians in the dark about the real reasons behind its poor performance.
"We screwed up royally in 54,000 polling units. We didn't have the complete election results to present before the tribunal because these agents bolted off with the results," Arabambi declared.
He further asserted that the party's inability to produce comprehensive election results was the primary reason they couldn't file their petition within the mandated 21 days, as stipulated by the Electoral Act.
Delving deeper, Arabambi alleged that the party's leadership, including Peter Obi, had misrepresented the judiciary during legal proceedings after the election. "We went to court and pulled a fast one on the judiciary because we were the ones who messed up," he said.
Unveiling the Internal Strife: Arabambi, in equally pointed comments, pinpointed the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as well as Aisha Yesufu, Valentine Ozigbo, Pastor Itua Ighodalo, and Oseloka Obaze for the party's disappointing election results. According to him, they were responsible for mishandling the party's campaign funds.
Echoing his claims of internal conflict within the Labour Party, our website reports that Arabambi has also accused Julius Abure of clinging onto power in defiance of controversy. Furthermore, he expressed concern about the party's dwindling reputation and suggested that expelling key figures like Peter Obi and Alex Otti might provide a viable solution to the party's ongoing crisis.
