‎Labour Party has disowned the Rainbow Coalition promoted by the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

‎

‎The party vowed to contest the 2027 general elections independently.

‎

‎National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, stated the position while reacting to reports that six parties, including LP, endorsed coalition in Rivers State.

‎

‎Asogwa said national leadership did not authorise any alliance with Rainbow Coalition or proposed G100 opposition coalition.

‎

‎He insisted LP is not part of any coalition in Rivers or elsewhere.

‎

‎Asogwa said the party remains focused on winning the presidential election and governorship seats where it fields candidates.

‎

‎The publicity secretary warned any state chapter joining coalition without national approval will face scrutiny.

‎

‎He said the party will investigate any confirmed involvement before deciding action.

‎

‎Asogwa declined to disclose disciplinary measures, saying relevant organs will determine next steps after review.

‎

‎The clarification comes amid realignments ahead of 2027 as Wike’s Rainbow Coalition seeks to rally parties behind its candidates.
