The chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Nasarawa State, Alexander Umbugu, has said that expression of interest and nomination forms are free for all aspirants contesting under its platform, as this will ease the burden of aspirants who are willing to serve the people and not the other way round, where politicians borrow huge sums of money to run for elective positions only to find a way of recovering corrupt practices in office.
Umbugu made this known on Friday while interacting with journalists: that the party belongs to all Nigerians irrespective of their economic status, hence its logo, which is that of a family (Papa, Mama, pikin).
He said, “If you look at our logo, it is Papa, Mama and pikin. The people you are seeing, not all their fingers are equal. We want to treat them as if they don’t have money like other people; they should come to our party, and we are going to do the needful for them to come and contest. We have done that in 2023; many people won the election under the Labour Party free of charge.”
