The Labour Party (LP) has warned that creating new political alliances ahead of the 2027 general election could weaken the opposition rather than strengthen it.
The party urged opposition groups and political movements to join its platform instead of forming new coalitions, insisting that it already has the structure needed to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, on behalf of the party and the G-100 Coalition Group.
According to the statement, while the Labour Party supports cooperation among opposition parties, it believes that creating new platforms would divide the opposition and reduce its chances of victory.
“Rather than creating new platforms or fragmented alliances, the national interest would be better served by strengthening the one opposition party that already possesses a tested nationwide network and institutional foundation,” the statement said.
