The Labour Party has distanced itself from a demonstration that is set to happen at the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) offices on Wednesday, calling its organizers “impostors” and “political impersonators.”
According to a statement issued by Senator Nenadi Usman, the party’s interim national chairman and Senior Special Adviser on Media Ken Asogwa, the party denied any involvement in the planned protest.
The statement partly read, “The attention of the leadership of the Labour Party has been drawn to an invitation circulating in certain quarters regarding a purported protest scheduled to be held on August 6, 2025, at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“This protest is allegedly being organised by some unknown individuals purportedly operating under the banner of the Labour Party. We wish to categorically state that the said protest is not sanctioned by the Labour Party.
“The organisers are unknown to the party’s leadership, and the action lacks the approval and backing of the party”
The statement cautioned that anybody supporting or taking part in the demonstration without the party’s approval could be considered a “impostor.”
“The public is hereby put on notice that anyone participating in or promoting this protest is doing so without the consent of the Labour Party and should be seen as an impostor,” it added.
