The National Youth Leader of the Labour Party, Anslem Eragbe, has been suspended by the leadership of the party.
The embattled partyman was suspended over allegations bordering on forgery, opening of an illegal donation website and acts of insubordination.
Eragbe was informed of his suspension in a letter issued in Abuja by LP National Secretary, Umar Ibrahim after a disciplinary committee’s report to the party chairman.
It read, “You may wish to recall that on the 14th of October, 2022. The National Working Committee of the party met and has among other matters deliberated on the allegations of misconduct labelled against you as the National Youth Leader of the Labour Party.
“Consequently, the committee has submitted its reports to the National Chairman with its recommendations in accordance with the party’s constitution as Amended (2019).

“You are advised to surrender all party’s documents and materials in your possession to the undersigned.”
Prince Kennedy Ahanotu was appointed to relief Anslem of his duties.
The national youth leader’s suspension was contained in a letter issued in Abuja by LP National Secretary, Umar Ibrahim.
Additionally, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi, on Friday explained that the Youth Leader was suspended for various acts bordering on criminality.
He was accused of forging the chairman’s signature to execute some unofficial tasks and launching of a phoney donation site among others.
“He forged the signature of the National Chairman and National Secretary with which he carried out unofficial assignments.
“He issued certificates to groups unknown to the leadership of the party without the approval of the National Working Committee or the National Chairman.
“He launched a fund mobilisation website to receive funds without the approval of the National Working Committee or the National Chairman.
“He wrote several letters to some individuals without the approval of the National Working Committee or the National Chairman.”
Eragbe, however, said the allegations levelled against him are malicious and untrue.
