Labor rejects YPP chairman suspended over alleged corruption

The Labor Party, LP, in Nasarawa State, has said it will not accept suspended State Chairman of the Young Progressive Party, Bishop Namo, into its fold following an allegation of corruption recently brought against him.

According to reports, the national leadership of the YPP had suspended Namo for alleged corruption in the state section of the party.

It has emerged that the suspended president received a bribe from a desperate politician to illegally substitute the name of a certain John Mark, who was the party's candidate for the Akwanga/Nasarawa Federal Constituency Eggon/Wamba, in the next general elections.< /p>

Subsequently, Namo on September 21 declared his support for the Labor Party, saying he had been received into the party.

However, Nasarawa State LP Chairman Alexander Emmanuel said on Sunday that Namo would not be allowed to join the party until he was found innocent of the allegations against him in his former party.

During a press conference, Alexander said: "The Labor Party is a peaceful political party. Our members here in Nasarawa State are known as peaceful people because we don't like trouble. .

“We have learned that Bishop Namo has been suspended by the YPP for allegations of corruption.

"We don't know if they are true or false at this time, but we will only accept him into the Labor Party when we are sure he is innocent of the allegations".
