Labour Party Urges Unity Between Ebonyi and Anambra States
The Ebonyi State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has called on David Umahi, the Minister of Works and former governor of Ebonyi State, to prioritize infrastructure development and governance instead of engaging in divisive political attacks against Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate. The LP, in a statement signed by its 2027 governorship candidate Splendour Oko Eze and other candidates, urged Umahi to refrain from personal attacks on Obi and allow the people of Ebonyi to choose their political options freely ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party emphasized the need for political leaders to avoid rhetoric that could harm the longstanding relationships between communities in the South-East. The LP highlighted the contributions of Anambra businessmen to Ebonyi's economy and reiterated that Peter Obi remains a brother, not an enemy.
The party also called for greater attention to critical infrastructure projects in the region, including the Enugu-Abakaliki Federal Highway and the Vanco Flyover project, which has disrupted local businesses.
