The political landscape of Nigeria's Labour Party (LP) is facing intense scrutiny following strong remarks from Affiong L. Affiong, Chair of the Gender Committee in the Labour Party’s National Transition Committee. In a candid video shared by Arise TV, Affiong expressed her deep disappointment with Senator Neda Imasuen, who led the committee that suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Affiong didn’t hold back, accusing Imasuen of bias and undermining the committee’s integrity by making public comments that prejudged Akpoti’s petition. She stated, “I was so ashamed to see the role of the senator from the Labour Party. It was a shame on us,” adding that Imasuen’s actions invalidated the committee’s findings before it even sat.
This public clash highlights growing tensions within the Labour Party, raising questions about fairness, impartiality, and the party’s commitment to gender equality in politics. The fallout from this incident could have significant repercussions on the party’s unity and reputation.
