Alleged Threat To Life By Expelled Member Of Our Party, Abayomi Arabambi, A Joke Taken Too Far.

LABOUR PARTY STATEMENT

ALLEGED THREAT TO LIFE BY EXPELLED MEMBER OF OUR PARTY, ABAYOMI ARABAMBI, A JOKE TAKEN TOO FAR.

The leadership of the Labour Party has expressed embarrassment and surprise at the news making the round where the embattled former Personal Assistant to Labour Party National Chairman, Barr Julius Abure, Mr Abayomi Arabambi, where he said that our National Youth Leader, Comrade Kennedy Ahanotu in a message sent to him was allegedly directed by His Excellency Mr Peter Obi to attack him.

Ordinarily the party would have laughed over such unsubstantiated and unfounded accusations but for the benefit of some members of the public especially the Nigerian Youths who do not know the character called Arabambi, a serial blackmailer who will stop at nothing to called out our leader at any given time.

In all views, we see such baseless attempt to defame our principal and that of our National Youth Leader as a last kick of a dying horse. Arabambi is well known with peddling lies, propaganda and deceit, reasons why the party expelled him. Arabambi must be reminded that those who fetch ants infested firewood invite lizards to their abode.

Recall that recently Arabambi called the noble Nigerians who believed that justice must prevail in the 2023 Presidential election Obi-idiots. Such description of hard working Nigerian youths is an invitation to self destruct. We have said it time without number that Peter Obi presidency is Nigerians project.

We are however challenging Arabambi to make public the said conversation he had with our National Youth Leader to prove the allegation of threat to life from our leaders. We want to restate that neither His Excellency Peter Obi nor any other person from Labour Party has or will ever contemplate to influence or stimulate any such response to Apapa from Nigerians who already knew that Apapa, Arabambi and their cohorts have been heavily compromised to thwart the proceedings in the Tribunal.

Peter Obi is known as peace loving man who never condones violence. As a governor of Anambra State, it is on record that his tenure witnessed the most peaceful era in that state. He is renowned to be the only governor in Nigeria who moved around without a bullet proof car. He ensured that bringandry, violence or any form of political violence ceased in the state. So for anyone to imagine, suggest or even contemplate to associate him with act of violence is pure mischief taken too far and this must be addressed.

Labour Party is demanding that Arabambi must come up with evidence and facts that Ahanotu is under instruction to visit him violence. We may let so many of his actionable utterances to slip by but certainly not this unfounded allegation which we view as serious and defamatory to the persons mentioned.

We are going ahead to make a formal report to the Nigerian Police and other security agencies of the grave dimension which these anti-democratic elements are taken in their inordinate attempt to stifle democracy. We therefore call on all lovers of Labour Party, our Principal, Peter Obi and other leaders of our party to remain focused amidst many provocations coming from those who attempted to hijack the Labour Party.
