 Labour Party has announced the indefinite suspension of six prominent members.
The suspended members are Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Senators Darlington Nwokocha and Ireti Kingibe alleged anti-party activities.
Others are Victor Afam Ogene, Amobi Ogah, and Seyi Sowumi.
The party’s National Executive Council said the decision followed the recommendations of a five-man Disciplinary Committee set up on May 2, 2025, to probe allegations of anti-party conduct.
In a statement signed by the National Secretary, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, on Wednesday, the party said the suspension takes immediate effect and bars the affected members from participating in any Labour Party activities.
The party also addressed the omission of Nenadi Usman from the suspension list stating that she is not a registered member of the Labour Party, but a supporter of its 2023 presidential candidate.
It also accused Usman of lacking the moral authority to comment on corruption, citing her alleged plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and purported asset forfeitures.
Reaffirming its stance on political alliances, the Labour Party said it would not join any coalition or merger ahead of the 2027 general elections.
