The Labour Party says it is ready to begin campaigning for the 2027 general election in accordance with the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
National Publicity Secretary Ken Asogwa said the party would campaign for all elective positions, including the presidency, governorships and legislative seats.
The party said its presidential candidate had participated in the signing of the 2027 election peace accord in Abuja.
Asogwa said Labour would focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks during the campaign.
He also expressed confidence in the party’s organisational structure across the country.
The spokesman, however, accused some southern state governments of imposing what he described as excessive fees on opposition parties seeking to place campaign billboards.
He said opposition parties were already challenging some of those charges in court.
The allegations were not independently established in the source material and no detailed response from the affected state governments was included.
Asogwa linked the dispute to the Labour Party’s reservations about state police, arguing that expanded powers for governors could be used against political opponents if safeguards were inadequate.
The party said its campaign would emphasise national issues and present alternatives to voters across federal and state elections.
Labour’s declaration adds to the growing political mobilisation as parties prepare for the formal campaign period ahead of 2027.
