The leadership of Labour Party (LP) has said Ms Oluchi Oparah, its former National Treasurer, is not the National Woman Leader of the party.
This is contained in a statement by issued the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Obiora Ifoh, on Thursday in Abuja.
Ifoh said that Oparah was suspended indefinitely in November 2023 as a member of Labour Party for alleged anti-party activities, adding that her suspension is still subsisting.
He said that Oparah was never the national woman leader of the party and that she had never contested to be one at any point in time.
“A person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others is an impostor.
“Therefore, her recent actions, using the office of the National Woman Leader of the Labour Party to seek pecuniary patronage amount to impersonation.
“This development has immensely embarrassed the Labour Party, hence this disclaimer,” he said.
According to him, the national woman leader of the party is Mrs Dudu Manuga.
“She alone is constitutionally mandated to oversee the activities of millions of Labour Party women in Nigeria and across the globe.
“We are, by this disclaimer, alerting organisations including the Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), The Kukah Foundation, Non-Governmental Organisations, political associations, National Assembly, and security agencies to be aware of her dubious activities,” he said.
Ifoh warned any individual or organisation being approached by Oparah to contact the police immediately
