Labour Party has announced the suspension of six prominent members, including Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Senators Darlington Nwokocha and Ireti Kingibe, over alleged anti-party activities.

According to the party’s National Executive Council, the move followed the recommendations of a five-man Disciplinary Committee set up on May 2, 2025, to probe allegations of anti-party conduct.

In a statement signed by the National Secretary of the Julius Abure-led faction, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the party said the suspension takes immediate effect and bars the affected members from participating in any Labour Party activities.

While reaffirming its stance on political alliances, the Labour Party said it would not join any coalition or merger ahead of the 2027 general elections.
