Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie Resigns from Labour Party Over Corruption Concerns


In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie, a prominent member of the Labour Party (LP), has tendered his resignation from the party. The reason behind his decision is his belief that the party's primary elections will be determined by the highest bidder, based on recent happenings within the party.

Dr. Aikoriogie, who has been eyeing the gubernatorial seat, expressed his concerns about the increasing trend of money being the deciding factor in party politics. According to him, aspirants are engaging in a cut-throat competition to outdo each other in terms of financial resources, such as making lavish donations of vehicles, placing party executives on salaries, and involving party leaders in their campaigns.

In a statement released yesterday, Dr. Aikoriogie stated, "The LP has become more like the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), as I see no difference between what is happening within the LP and what is happening in these established parties."

He further explained that the increasing role of money in politics is detrimental to the democratic process and discourages individuals with genuine intentions to serve the people from participating. Dr. Aikoriogie firmly believes that political parties should focus on the qualities, abilities, and visions of their candidates, rather than their financial capacities.

Dr. Aikoriogie's departure from the LP signifies a dissatisfaction among some members, who believe that the party's values and principles are being compromised. His decision to pursue his gubernatorial ambition elsewhere is a result of his determination to align with a party that upholds transparency, integrity, and fairness in its internal processes.

The news of Dr. Aikoriogie's resignation has sparked discussions within the LP, as members debate the extent of corruption within the party and whether action needs to be taken to address these concerns. This resignation serves as a wake-up call for the LP, urging its leadership to reassess its values and practices and restore the faith of its members.

As Dr. Aikoriogie embarks on his journey to find a new political home, his actions serve as a reminder that the fight against corruption in politics is ongoing. His bold decision to leave the LP in pursuit of a party that aligns with his values sends a clear message that integrity should reign supreme in the political landscape.

The LP now faces the challenge of regaining the confidence of its members and proving its commitment to fair and transparent political processes. The departure of Dr. Aikoriogie underscores the need for a thorough examination of party practices so that the LP can return to its roots as a party that stands up for the rights and aspirations of the Nigerian people.

Giving their presidential ticket to Gringory Obi barely 1 week of joining the party isn’t corruption?
