Ibrahim Oyewale in Lokoja

Worried by the continued impersonation and  unlawful behaviour of one Colonel  Vincent Enemona Abu (rtd) as the Candidate of  the Labour Party(LP) ,the executives in the State and local governments in Kogi state have drawn the attention of the security agencies in the state to probe his nefarious   activities .

Also the State Chapter of the party has disowned the fake candidate parading himself for and raising fund for the next election despite the apex court ruling.

The State Publicity Secretary of the party,  Idakwo Emmanuel in a chat with the newsmen in Lokoja yesterday ,lamented that Col. Vincent Enemona Abu (rtd), despite a Federal High court judgement in Abuja, suit number: FHC/ABJ/CS/598/2023 Which upheld the legitimate candidacy of Mr. Adejoh Okeme, and the Supreme court judgement that has forever put to rest the apologetic display of shame of the Lamidi Apapa group, was still parading himself.

He added that all those giving financial support to Col. (Dr) Vincent Enemona Abu (rtd) on the basis of his claims that he is the governorship candidate of Labour Party in Kogi State have been defrauded, should henceforth  stop doing so as the Supreme judgement has cleared air on that.

“Party State Executives in Kogi State and local government chairmen and their secretaries have come to a collective agreement that the attention of both the DSS, Nigeria Police Force and all other security agencies in Nigeria must be drawn to the unlawful behaviour of Col. Vincent Enemona Abu (Rtd), who after a Federal High court judgement in Abuja, suit number: FHC/ABJ/CS/598/2023 Which upheld the legitimate candidacy of Barrister Adejoh Okeme, and the Supreme court judgement,” he stressed.

He also expressed the worry about the actions of a man that has worked in the military that most people will expect to have high morals and principles to descend low to the point of disgrace fully and  disrespecting lay down laws and principles as well as the judgement of the court, just because he wants to use the portfolio to make some money for himself.

“This rascality must stop and security agencies should probe him at this point. We will not seat back and watch any individual disregard the judgement of the highest court in the land.

“The vision of Labour Party is to bring to an end criminality and rascality in all forms, and Barrister Adejoh Okeme has been chosen by the people to champion the agenda of labour party at the ballot come November 11 2023, and move the state from consumption to a productive and prosperous state.
