A former National Assembly candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Dr Emmanuel Ezeh, has dismissed speculations of a zoning crisis within the Labour Party in Ebonyi, describing such narratives as politically motivated attempts aimed at importing “old political traditions” into what he termed a progressive political movement.
He noted that zoning arrangements have done little to deepen democratic governance in the country, adding that Nigerians are increasingly demanding issue-based politics and credible leadership capable of delivering democratic dividends.
Eze maintained that the Labour Party was founded on principles of inclusiveness, accountability and merit, warning that attempts to reduce internal political conversations to zoning debates are distractions capable of weakening the ideological foundation of the party,
He made the observations while speaking with journalists in Abakaliki amid increasing political realignments and discussions surrounding the 2027 electoral cycle.
Eze further hinted at a possible political ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying consultations with stakeholders and supporters across different political blocs are ongoing.
The Labour Party stalwart, however, maintained that any decision regarding his future political participation would be guided by principle, ideology and national interest rather than personal ambition.
“I am still studying the political terrain. My decisions are guided by principle, not ambition,” he stated.
Ezeh reaffirmed his commitment to the Labour Party, stressing that his continued membership of the party is anchored on its ideology of equal opportunity, social justice, integrity and competent leadership.
According to him, the party remains a platform for progressive politics and accountable governance, insisting that leadership positions should be determined by merit, competence and vision rather than sectional or ethnic considerations.
The former aspirant noted that the growing interest and calls from supporters across various interest groups reflects the desire of many Nigerians, particularly youths, for a new political culture rooted in transparency, equity and responsible leadership.
He reiterated his commitment to democratic values, good governance and people-oriented policies aimed at improving the welfare of citizens irrespective of political affiliation.
