Senator Kingibe Declares Labour Party “Fractured” and Unfit to Win Elections
Senator Ireti Kingibe has delivered a scathing assessment of the Labour Party, declaring the political organization too fractured to secure electoral victory. The Federal Capital Territory lawmaker made these remarks despite winning her 2023 Senate seat under the LP banner.
Kingibe described the party as deeply divided and incapable of mounting successful campaigns in its current state. “Labour Party has been fractured, I don’t see it as a vehicle that can win election,” the senator stated, according to Naija News reports.
The criticism comes from within the party’s own ranks, making Kingibe’s assessment particularly significant. Her comments highlight internal struggles that have reportedly plagued the Labour Party since the 2023 general elections.
The senator’s position carries weight given her successful 2023 campaign under the same party she now criticizes. Her electoral victory demonstrated the party’s potential during the last election cycle, making her current pessimism more striking.
Labour Party gained national prominence during the 2023 presidential race, with candidate Peter Obi generating significant youth support. However, internal conflicts have reportedly emerged since the elections concluded.
Kingibe’s public criticism suggests deeper organizational problems within the party structure. Her statement raises questions about the party’s ability to maintain unity and present a cohesive political alternative.
The senator’s remarks indicate potential challenges for Labour Party’s future electoral prospects and internal cohesion.
