We don't have any deal with Tinubu for 2027 election, Labour Party counters Adeyanju

The Labour Party (LP) has dismissed the video making the rounds in social media that its leadership was partnering with President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obiora Ifoh, National Publicity Secretary, LP said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

According to Ifoh, the party has debunked the allegations that it has an understanding with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to collaborate in the 2027 general election.

As a matter of fact, the Labour Party is the most visible opposition party as of today and our National Chairman, Barrister Abure is the leading voice in the opposition camp, and has been most critical of the present government.

After the 2023 general election, it continued to interrogate the system’s failure and has been very visible playing the role of the opposition, continuously critiquing the policies, proffering solutions and advising the government.

Recently, the party under the able leadership of Julius Abure came up with a series of programmes, including the creation of the Electoral Reform Committee.

“With it we hope to enthrone a credible, fair and transparent processes, leading to the selection of leadership in the country, Labour Party being a major victim in the 2023 general election,” he stated.

Ifoh said the party had created a Political Education Committee to reorient citizens on the need for positive behavioural change towards politics in Nigeria.

He also said the party had become the first party in Nigeria to attempt to deepen participatory democracy by introducing e-membership registration with thousands of people already subscribing.

All these efforts to reposition the party, for someone to be demarketing such a party in such an unguarded and callous manner, is most ridiculous and unfortunate.

We are, therefore. Challenging Deji Adeyanju and any other person to come up with facts and proof that either the party leadership or Mr Abure intends to work for President Bola Tinubu or his party, the APC in 2027.

Adeyanju’s assertion which is presently trending globally has caused the Labour Party enormous harm and we are demanding that he refrains from causing the party further harm.

As a political party, we view Deji Adeyanju’s now-viral comments as a criminal defamation, a motivated ploy to ridicule our hard-earned reputation.

“We are, therefore, calling on Mr Adeyanju to without delay provide facts and evidence to prove that the Labour Party has been ‘bought’ over by President Tinubu.

“He also has a choice to withdraw his ill assertions and apologise to the leadership and millions of members of the Labour Party for the great harm he has caused the party,” he stated.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
