Adelana described any other Labour party in Lagos state as fake, saying, we are the authentic candidates and members that recognised by our party state and national and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He noted that INEC was on ground as an observer in all the respective primary elections in all constituencies across the 20 LGA’s and the 37 LGA’s in the state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to him, after elections, the results of candidates that won were announced with their names and pictures published by INEC in all their offices which has a total of 40 House of Assembly candidates, 24 House of Representative candidates and 3 Senatorial candidates.

“We therefore, kick against all forms of imposition of unwanted members and those intruders who want to dismantle the already built Party will not succeed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“In my constituency Somolu we are not depending on any body, many witnessed the elections, saw the outcome of the process and know the authentic candidates.

” So how can somebody wake up now to destroyed what the party has built without fear of God, he queried?

 

 

 

 

 

 

He said that Nigeria is bleeding on a daily basis, the masses are tired of the situation and someone is paid to disorganize our party structure for selfish interest, we say ‘No’ it will not work.

“Let the youth say no to impurity, stand up, get their Permanent Voters Card to take what belongs to them, enough of smiling and suffering syndrome”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hon. Ejike Metu, a candidate of Amuwo Odofin federal constituency said that the main purpose of the meeting was to deliberate on the way forward and how they can work with understanding as a team.

Metu noted that nobody will be left behind as the party wants inclusive discussions in the movement, adding that no one will be hurt due to minor issues”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He described Labour party as a new Nigeria where everybody will have fresh breathe and something different from the past where leaders do not have the fear of God.

“Labour party is coming out with new ideas, no need of telling Nigerians what the party will do because they know the problems and want to work on how the country will be better again”, he said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Omorodion Dorcas, a candidate for Alimosho Federal Constituency said that she needs to give her constituents the best.

“We do not want intruders in our party, we know our members can not accommodate fake members”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comr Tony Masha, a member of the Nigeria Labour Congress and vice chairman of the Labour party said that the primary elections held in May is the authentic party member of Lagos state chapter.

According to him, the party conducted the primary elections where candidates were successfully elected for various posts so any election conducting after May is fake and we are all saying No to it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We will not allow any group of people within the party as moles to disorganize the work of members who laboured endlessly to elect their respective candidates during the primaries.

Abimbola Akeem, a youth coordinator of the Party in Somolu said everyone in Nigeria is economically affected with the present situation, hence the youth wants to stand up and take what belongs to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I am pleading to all youth to rise up now, the time has come to change the situation, let us get our PVCs to exercise our right not by selling the cards because when you sell the cards for pea nut suffering continues, we should shine our eye now.

PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT*

**PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT**

Dear Esteemed Citizens of Nigeria,

Advertisment

As concerned citizens and representatives of the Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA), our hearts weigh heavy with concern for the safety and security of our beloved nation, particularly in Rivers State. Recent developments have seen allover the internet news online a troubling plot that threatens to undermine the peace and stability painstakingly built by our coastal communities.

We are gravely disturbed by reports indicating a sinister scheme aimed at disrupting the commendable efforts of Royal Fouchee Security Limited, spearheaded by the esteemed Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari. It pains us deeply to learn that the very guardians of our security, the Nigeria Security Agencies, are allegedly orchestrating an assault on the dedicated workers of Royal Fouchee Security Agency and other private security entities in Rivers State.

Advertisment

In this hour of uncertainty, we turn our eyes to the highest office of the land, the esteemed President of Nigeria, with an impassioned plea for intervention. Mr. President, we beseech you to heed our call and use your authority to halt any actions that may endanger the lives and well-being of our coastal citizens. Your decisive action is imperative in preventing further escalation of tensions and preserving the peace that is the lifeblood of our coastal communities.

While we cannot definitively prove the political undertones behind these alarming developments, the whispers of suspicion linger in the air. It is incumbent upon our leaders to rise above partisan interests and prioritize the safety and security of every Nigerian, particularly those in our coastal regions who are vulnerable to various challenges.

Let us not forget the lessons of our past, where political differences were allowed to sow seeds of discord and division among our coastal brethren. Instead, let us unite in solidarity, transcending political boundaries to safeguard the sanctity of our democracy and the welfare of our coastal people.

Mr. President, we implore you to intervene swiftly and decisively, sending a clear message that the security and well-being of every coastal Nigerian is non-negotiable. Your actions today will shape the destiny of our nation and reaffirm our collective commitment to peace, unity, and progress.

With unwavering hope and trust in your leadership,

Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA)

Sahara Weekly Reports That The Edi Abali Group has raised an alarm concerning a security threat to the ancestral home and assets of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, the Paramount Ruler of Edi Abali Group of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses in the Kalabari Kingdom of Rivers State, by the military.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edi Abali Group Raises Alarm Over Security Threat to Ancestral Home, Assets of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari

 

 

 

 

 

In a public notice issued by the Edi Abali Group it states that credible intelligence has revealed plans by elements within the 103 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Obuama to provoke a confrontation and disrupt the peace in the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to the notice, the plot specifically targets Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who is currently out of the country. The army allegedly plans to exploit his absence in order to create a crisis that could be wrongly attribited to the community members, resulting in attacks on innocent individuals. The Edi Abali Group clarifies that there are no issues between their community, the army, and Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari or his company, Royal Fouche Services Limited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The notice highlights that the tensions arose after Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari spoke out about the involvement of some elements of the Nigerian Army in oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta. These activities reportedly deprived the government of the much-needed revenue, leading to displeasure among these elements. The group believes that they are deliberately instigating a crisis involving the personnel of Royal Fouche Services to justify an attack on innocent indigenes of the Kalabari communities, particularly in Obuama where Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari is based, as well as the 103 Battalion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide said,

 

 

“The army in Obuama is aware of his absence from the country and plans to exploit this to create a crisis, which will be wrongly attributed to community members, leading to attacks on innocent individuals.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Edi Abali Group calls upon the Nigerian Army to be aware of this plot and to ensure that they are not manipulated into compromising peace and security in the area. They also highlight the proven record of collaboration between Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari and Royal Fouche Services Limited with security agencies in combating terrorism, kidnapping, and insurgency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The group aims to inform the public, as well as the people of Kalabari and Rivers State, about this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari. They emphasize his commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Said Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide

Secretary Edi Abali Group Of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses,

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We want the public, people of Kalabari and Rivers State to be aware of this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who remains committed to supporting the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring safety and security for all Nigerians.”
