The party questioned her moral standing, alleging ties to corruption, and stated, “She should also tell Nigerians how she acquired her radio station in Kaduna, all her properties all over Nigeria and abroad, her companies in Cameroon, including her plantations.

The Labour Party reaffirmed its political position, stating, “Labour Party intends to prosecute the 2027 general election as a standalone party, and no further discussion will be entertained on this matter.”
