Five months after the House of Assembly election, the Bayelsa State chapter of Labour Party, (LP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) of collaborating with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rub it of victory in most constituencies.

The chairman of the party in the state, Mr Bobo Adou, who made the allegation in an interview with journalists in Yenagoa said that, While INEC killed us, Election Tribunal is burying us, as all but one of the petitions we filed have been terminated on what they called technical grounds.

Mr  Adou said the party has learnt its lessons in a very bitter way, we have realised our mistakes, and we are strategising in readiness for next year’s gubernatorial elections in the state’’.

The LP boss, who regretted that the judiciary in the state was not helping the course of democracy, said after the fate of LP, other parties that approach the court for remedy of injustices allegedly perpetrated by PDP in collaboration with INEC were also suffering frustrations.

According to him, the governorship race was not going to be left alone for PDP as his party would give them a serious challenge through fair and free contest.

He said it was not true that the party’s governorship candidate Chief Timi Alaibe before the shifting of election date in the state,  has thrown in the towel or joined the PDP, stressing that all is well with the party.

“As I am talking to you, I have been in touch with him, he is very much a party loyalist’’.

On the poor outing of the party during the state House of Assembly, Mr Adou, declared, we didn’t realise that we have a black leg in our caucus, our strategy was leaked to the opponent, that also contributed to our woes, but as I told you, all that is history’’.

LP, is not just a party but a peoples mass movement itching to have good governance in the state, he said.

According to him if, the party is not about one individual but a collection of people who are  free to agitate and demand good thing for the generality of  the state and the country at large, he pointed.

He therefore, promised tht in next few weeks the party will come out with its action plan for next years gubernatorial election, saying that the present seemingly lull in its activities especial after the April was to reflect on was wrong and then plan ahead.
