Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The governorship candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri, has cautioned the acting factional chairman of the party, Eneyi Zidougha, to leave him out of the crisis rocking the party in the state.<\/p>\n

Eradiri, in a statement on Monday, called on members of the public to disregard Zidougha\u2019s recent claims that he had expelled him from the LP, saying the Constitution of the party did not confer such powers on him.<\/p>\n

He said Zidougha should deal with the crisis he invited upon himself when he betrayed the party ahead of the election by leading some members of his executive committee to endorse the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Governor Douye Diri.<\/p>\n

Eradiri said: \u201cWe all know what transpired ahead of the election. The so-called chairman worked against his party. He was accused of collecting N100 million to endorse the state governor. He didn\u2019t hide it. He and some of his exco members worked for the candidate of the PDP for the sake of their stomachs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey betrayed Labour Party same way they betrayed our Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi. He led some of his exco to play the highest level of anti-party and doesn\u2019t have the locus standi to talk about disciplinary measures against anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe local government chairmen of the party were angry at their shameful and selfish conduct and decided to take over the leadership of the party. I called on him to stop dissipating his energy on me and channel it to dealing with the crisis he created for himself because of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
