Ex- Assembly Candidate Dumps Labour Party Over Allegations Of Betrayal
He denied the allegations against him and said that he was fully prepared to cooperate with any investigations to clear his name.
The former candidate of the Delta State House of Assembly for Aniocha South State Constituency on the platform of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Harrison Gwamnishu, has announced his resignation from the party.
Gwamnishu, who announced his resignation from the Labour Party in a statement he signed by himself titled ‘My Resignation from Labour Party” and issued on Wednesday, said that his resignation from the party was sequel to allegations by the Aniocha South Local Government Area Labour Party Executive that he betrayed the party during the elections in 2023.
He denied the allegations against him and said that he was fully prepared to cooperate with any investigations to clear his name.
Gwamnishu said, “I am writing to formally resign from my position with the Labour Party, effective immediately.
“This decision comes with considerable regret, particularly in light of the persistent accusations alleging that I betrayed the party during the 2023 Governorship and House of Assembly Elections, where I was a candidate for the House of Assembly.
“These allegations, propagated by the Aniocha South Local Government Labour Party Executive, have made it evident that continuing my affiliation with the party could compromise my reputation and integrity.
“Throughout my campaign, my team and I dedicated significant time and resources to promoting the party across Aniocha South LGA. At no point did I compromise or act against the interests of the party.
“I categorically deny the accusations against me and am fully prepared to cooperate with any investigations to clear my name.
“However, I acknowledge that for the party to maintain its credibility and public trust, it is crucial to distance itself from any allegations of impropriety. My commitment to the party and its values has always been unwavering.
“Nevertheless, given the current circumstances, I believe my resignation serves the best interests of both the party and myself. I hope this resignation will enable the party to focus on its objectives without distraction.
“I am grateful to His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi for inspiring me to enter politics and join the Obidient movement.
“I also extend my appreciation to Chief Anthony Ezeagu, the then Delta State Labour Party Chairman, and the Executive for their support and opportunities.
“I will always value the experiences and achievements we shared and wish the party continued success in its future endeavours.”
