Labour Party disowns Datti Baba-Ahmed, Calls April 9 Abuja Meeting Illegal The party expressed shock over what it termed an “illegal and unconstitutional” meeting held in Abuja on April 9, reportedly convened by Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, and attended by LP’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. Abayomi alleged that during the gathering, Datti Baba-Ahmed reiterated his stance that the Tinubu-led federal government remains “questionably constitutional,” despite a conclusive Supreme Court ruling that legitimized the administration. He noted that such rhetoric is not only divisive but potentially inciting, adding that the LP was neither consulted nor officially represented in the meeting.
Labour Party disowns Datti Baba-Ahmed, Warns Against Inciting Remarks The Labour Party emphasized that Baba-Ahmed’s televised remarks, where he referred to government appointments as “fake and illegal” and described the current administration’s actions as destructive to the nation, are misleading and dangerous. “The paraphernalia of government they are enjoying, destroying our country, and spending our money is only for a little time,” Baba-Ahmed reportedly said. Reacting to these remarks, the LP warned that such statements could fuel public unrest and are tantamount to calling for mass resistance against a constitutionally recognized government. Abayomi said, “We think there should be a limit to whipping up public sentiment against a legitimate government. History has shown us how such behavior sparked unrest during the Arab Spring. Nigeria cannot afford that.”
Labour Party Reaffirms Commitment to National Peace and Unity In its concluding remarks, the Labour Party who disowns Datti Baba-Ahmed reiterated its commitment to peace, democratic principles, and the rule of law. The party urged all its stakeholders and members to refrain from making provocative statements that could threaten national unity. Abayomi stressed that LP remains focused on contributing positively to national development and offering constructive criticism when necessary. “We must not allow individual sentiments to override the collective vision of our party,” he said. The statement serves as a firm declaration that the Labour Party disowns Datti Baba-Ahmed’s recent comments and affirms that the LP leadership stands apart from any anti-government rhetoric that undermines democratic institutions.
