THE Julious Abure-led national executive of the Labour Party has dismissed speculations that the party is or was involved in talks to either form a coalition or merge with any other opposition party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh said this in Abuja, on Saturday.
He spoke in response to speculations that the party was involved in such talks with a select group of opposition parties.
Ifoh explained that the party leadership was neither approached nor was it considering such a move.
He also said those peddling rumours that the LP endorsed a new coalition of opposition political parties were a group of individuals who were desperate to derail the party’s rebuilding efforts.
The party’s Spokesman said, “The was news in the media that a group of seven opposition political parties formed a new coalition tagged the Coalition of Concerned Political Parties.
“As was noticed, Labour Party was not represented at the meeting in question and therefore couldn’t have been part of the coalition as suggested by the publication.
“The publication we can confirm quoted one of our officials out of context by giving a false impression that Labour Party endorsed the coalition.
“We have continued to posit that the Labour Party is still undergoing a Post Mortem of the 2023 general election and untill after the exercise, we will not be in a hurry to join the fray of any political arrangement.
