The Labour Party in Lagos is taking significant steps towards unity, and it's a breath of fresh air.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos State Labour Party gubernatorial candidate, also acknowledged that every political party faces challenges. 

However, he highlighted the party's willingness to work together and find a political solution to their issues. 

This unity is essential, as a divided house can never stand, and the party doesn't want to win any victory without being united.

Dr Yunusa Tanko

Moreover, Yunusa Tanko, the chief spokesman of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation, stressed the need for electoral reform. 

He advocates for adopting the Uwais Electoral report to ensure free and fair elections in 2027. 

This reform should address INEC's independence and the judiciary's impartiality, ensuring credible elections for all Nigerians, regardless of their background.

The Uwais Electoral report recommends:

- Constitutional Amendments: Insulate INEC from executive influence and make its funding a first-line charge on the Consolidated Revenue of the Federation.

- Election Petition: Establish time limits and a Special Electoral Offences Commission to try electoral offenders.

- Electoral Reforms: Implement measures to minimize violence and rigging, and build lasting democratic institutions and culture.

Hon Seyi Sowunmi

Honorable Sowunmi disclosed that embracing unity and advocating for electoral reform, the Labour Party in Lagos and Nigeria in question is poised to make a strong impact in the 2027 elections.
