‘They Are Just Some People Playing Games’ – Ifoh Speaks On Nenadi Usman Labour Party Caretaker Committee

The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Obiora Ifoh, has declared that there is no faction in the party.

This is as he described the Nenadi Usman-led caretaker committee as just “some members coming to play games and laying claims to things that were not true.”

According to Ifoh, who spoke during an interview with Punch, the law does not recognize any faction within the Labour Party.

He, however assured that the party is working to ensure all aggrieved members of the party are reconciled and the party is able to provide a formidable stand going into the 2027 elections.

“I mentioned earlier that we won’t pump the air until everybody comes back and we face the elections ahead collectively. There was never a faction ab initio. What we had was some members coming to play games and laying claims to things that were not true.

“In the eye of the law, there has never been a faction and the party has been together. But when people lay claims, if you don’t stand strong, the wind may blow you out. That was exactly what happened.

“The Labour Party has never faced what you called factions at all.

“The so-called factions were the creation of the media. The moment our former chairman, Abdulsalaam (may his soul rest in peace) died, a succession emerged and it continued until we went for a convention as provided by the law.

“The convention produced a set of new leadership. So there has never been a faction anywhere. That’s my take on that,” he said.

Ifoh who maintained that all reports about factionalization in the Labour Party are a creation of the media, had earlier in the interview said the party is working to ensure every member is back in the same fold.

“For us in the party, we just took it as something that came to help us to stabilise the party. As I told you earlier, there is no pumping the air until we make sure that everyone who should be with us is back. The celebration can then come after we have won the major election,” he said.
