“We want to use this opportunity to advise LP faithfuls to distance themselves from anything that is illegal and unconstitutional in the state.
“We continue to warn anyone parading him/herself as member(s) of Labour Party in Ebonyi State or hoping to hide under our peaceful party movement to put confusion among us and create chaos, to have a rethink.
“We urge such groups to allow us to breathe because we will not hide any perpetrator of crime under our roof.
