ABUJA — The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr. Julius Abure, has urged members of the party to be alert, following information available to him that the All Progressives Congress, APC, was already preparing for a possible re-run of the 2023 presidential election.
This, he explained, was because the ruling party was aware the tide was heavily tilted against it in the ongoing legal challenge to the presidential election results as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Abure said this during an online meeting held with Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy, led by Professor Eddie Oparaoji, the Labour Party Diaspora Chairman in the United States, in Abuja yesterday.
Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement quoted Abure as calling on the over 10 million members of the party to be “on the alert and get ready to further humiliate APC and its government in the polls if their sinister plot fails to materialize.”
He said: “Rumours have it that those in government are already planning for rerun and this is one of the support we will be canvasing from you.
Plateau: We must break circle of violence — Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday called for a stop to the circle of violence in Plateau State.
Expressing sadness and grief over the latest round of violence and killings, he condemned in strong terms the most recent internecine killings in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State and parts of Benue State.
A statement issued by Dele Alake, Special Adviser to the President (Special Duties, Communications & Strategy) said
Tinubu found very depressing the festering reprisal attacks, needless and avoidable bloodletting among communities in the two states.
It quoted him as saying: “It is most unfortunate that in this orgy of violence, an innocent eight-month-old baby in Farin Lamba community of Vwang District, Jos South Local Government, died in a conflict she knew nothing about.
“A major consequence of perennial conflict is always the tragic loss of innocent lives.
“To build virile, peaceful and prosperous communities demand tolerance and forgiveness for every perceived wrongdoing.”
