“Labour Party is in two factions proper now. The Abure faction and the Nenadi faction. So what do you count on me or some other individual in Labour Party to do? After all solely people who find themselves not holding political officers would say oh, I stay in Labour Party.
“However if you’re holding a political workplace otherwise you plan on operating then which faction are you operating? On the Native Council elections, Labour Party shouldn’t be fielded. So, clearly it’s not a viable platform for searching for election as of As we speak.
“So the structure permits each elected member to look for a different platform in case your unique occasion is factionalized as a result of I strongly consider that those that defect with out assembly the constitutional necessities ought to lose their seats, however in our case it doesn’t apply.
“That’s precisely what the structure says.
Speaking about my seat, the reality of the matter is, from Olusegun Obasanjo until now, hardly anyone controls how the individuals of the FCT vote,” she stated.
