Labour Party National Convention: Journalists Barred as Alleged Hoodlums Face Arrest
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Journalists have been disallowed from entering the Grand Seasons Hotel in Nnewi, Anambra State, —the venue of the Labour Party’s National Convention.

This move raises serious concerns about transparency and freedom of the press in Nigeria’s political landscape. Journalists play a crucial role in ensuring accountability and informing the public, and yet, their exclusion from such a significant event might lead the opposition to suggest a deliberate attempt to control the narrative and suppress dissenting voices.

At the time of filing this report, there is an alleged heavy security presence at the hotel, an occurrence not unconnected with the crisis in the political party.

The newsmen at the venue had reported that a series of calls and text messages sent to the spokesman of the party, Obiorah Ifoh, begging him to allow journalists with tags access into the venue was declined.

In a similar development, five persons, ‘alleged’ hoodlums, have been arrested at the venue and marched to the police headquarters for questioning.

The hoodlums were said to have been sharing inciting leaflets critical of the leadership of the party.

They were also accused of attempting to cause a crisis at the ongoing convention.

An anonymous party source has said that the intention of the hoodlums and their sponsors was to sabotage the convention.

The alleged intention of the hoodlums to sabotage the convention speaks to the depths of the internal strife plaguing the Labour Party.

It is no news that the Labour Party has been undergoing crisis after a party leadership tussle over who would become the national chairman of the party. A very sad turn of events for the once noble party.
