Labour Party Denies APC's Claims of Election Disruption
The Labour Party (LP) has strongly dismissed allegations made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding a supposed plan to disrupt the collation of results at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Bende ahead of the 2027 general elections. The APC, through its State Publicity Secretary, Uche Aguoru, claimed that the LP intended to burn down the Bende Local Government headquarters, which has housed the INEC collation centre for decades.
The APC alleged that the LP, fearing defeat, submitted a petition to INEC requesting the relocation of the collation centre to Umuahia, citing the supposed plan to burn the headquarters. In response, the LP, represented by its State Publicity Secretary, Emenike Iroegbu, labeled the allegations as false and accused the APC of inciting hatred and creating unnecessary tension in the state.
The LP stated that the APC's claims arose after the failure of its alleged “clannish incitement strategy.”.
