Labour Party Denies Endorsing Jonathan

The Labour Party, on Tuesday denied
endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan as
its presidential candidate for the 2015
general elections.
National Chairman of the party, Abdulkadri
Abdulsalam made this known in an interview
in Abuja. He described the reports as
baseless rumours.

Although the party has not announced any
presidential candidate, the national chairman
said this was because no credible candidate
with the capacity and capability to compete
for presidency had emerged from the Labour
Party.
“The party has not endorsed anybody; if we
want to endorse anyone as a presidential
candidate, we must hold a convention where
we will collectively and democratically
agree,” Abdulsalam said.
“No credible candidate has spoken with us
for endorsement; the information going round
that we have endorsed Jonathan must be
considered as rumour.
“Whatever is our intention to endorse any
presidential candidate will be made known
because we will definitely meet and endorse
who ever we want as a presidential
candidate,’’ he said.
