Labour Party suspends chairman, secretary in fresh crisis
The Labour Party (LP) in Cross River State has suspended its chairman, Mr. Ogar Osim, along with Secretary Felix Etim, over allegations of embezzlement, anti-party activities, and other issues.
The suspension follows claims that Osim failed to maintain the party’s state secretariat and engaged in misconduct.
The State Disciplinary Committee, led by Chairman Bonnie Adie and Secretary Ibiang Igri, also appointed Eugene Obia and Allen Ekpe as acting chairman and secretary, respectively, until a formal congress can elect new officials.

A statement from the party explained that the decision was based on a thorough investigation into the alleged misconduct. It expressed confidence that the new acting leaders would provide effective leadership and ensure the party’s smooth operation in the state. Members were urged to support the interim leadership.
In response, Ogar Osim dismissed the suspension as laughable, claiming that the individuals who signed the suspension letter are impostors. He stated that their names are not listed in any official party registers and argued that any disciplinary action should have been authorized by the party’s legal adviser. Osim announced plans to challenge the suspension in court.
