We have put an end to evil schemes against Labour Party - Ushie

Comrade John Ushie, Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Labour Party (LP) in Cross River State has said the days of alleged plots against the Labour Party (LP) are over as “we have put an end to the evil schemes against the party at the national and state levels.”

Comrade Ushie, a former chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Cross River who expressed this forward-looking optimism about Labour during his formal presentation in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, maintained that hope is not lost and the party is now positioned to win elections without selling the mandate of the people.

“As you know, our great Labour Party has been in the news for some time, though, never unconnected with the shenanigans of some members both at the state and the national level,” Ushie said.

“The good news is that we have been able to put an end to their evil schemes to thwart any further damage, for every evil has an expiring date.

“Hope isn’t lost, together we can begin to win elections without selling out the mandate of the people who have entrusted their destinies in our hands.

“It’s time for a new approach, one that prioritises the needs of the many over the interests of the few.”

He assured that the new leadership will be committed to the principles of democracy, social justice, equity, progress and inclusivity, adding that the tenure of the former leadership of the party in the state expired in June, 2024.

He tasked stakeholders to avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the upcoming local government election to sponsor viable candidates on the platform of the Labour Party (LP).
