Benue Labour Party Rejects Coalition Claims, Backs President Tinubu’s Re-election

The Labour Party (LP) in Benue State has denied any involvement in a political coalition, reaffirming its commitment to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. The party’s State Chairman, William Ochonu, made this clear in a recent statement.

Ochonu emphasized that the Labour Party in Benue is not part of any strategic alliance or partnership with other political groups. He stated, “We are Labour Party, and we stand on our own.” He also addressed a circulating list that claimed to include respected individuals in a supposed partnership to support the President.

The chairman noted that the party is actively mobilizing voters in Benue to support both President Tinubu and all Labour Party candidates in the state. He expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and the positive impact of his policies on various sectors, including the economy and security.

Ochonu further explained that the Labour Party will soon announce its Independent Campaign Council to coordinate efforts across the state’s 23 Local Government Areas. He mentioned that while individual candidates may form personal alliances, the party will maintain its own campaign structure.

He concluded by rejecting any notion that the Labour Party in Benue is disorganized, asserting that they are committed to running a focused campaign for the upcoming elections.
