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.

![Burna Boy sings rubbish – DJ Tunez claims [VIDEO]](https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/DJ-Tunez.jpg)
Wizkid’s personal disc jockey, DJ Tunez, has criticised Afrobeats singer, Burna Boy’s music following their clash in April.
DAILY POST recalls that Burna Boy and his team reportedly assaulted DJ Tunez at Obi’s House, Lagos, a few weeks ago, which led to the DJs Association of Nigeria temporarily suspending the singer pending investigation into the alleged incident.
Amidst the ongoing investigation, DJ Tunez sparked controversy after throwing shade a Burna Boy during a recent performance at a London club.
During his set, DJ Tunez played Burna Boy’s song ‘Last Last’ but muted his vocals and then proceeded to call his music “rubbish.”
His statement sparked cheers and condemnation from among the audience in a clip from the event, which has since gone viral.
It also elicited mixed reactions online with many berating DJ Tunez for escalating the beef with Burna Boy and warning of possible reprisal from the latter.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Farouk Aliyu, has said the party is prepared to manage grievances that may arise from its candidate selection process ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, Aliyu acknowledged that some aspirants would be disappointed after the party’s primaries and consensus arrangements.
He, however, urged aggrieved members to remain loyal to the party, noting that party leaders would continue to engage and appease dissatisfied aspirants through dialogue, promises and possible appointments.
According to him, political decisions within the APC are often influenced by broader consultations among party stakeholders, adding that governors may not always have the final say in determining candidates.
Aliyu said the party would adopt consensus arrangements where possible, while direct primaries would be conducted in areas where consensus could not be reached.
He said: “Of course, there will be broken hearts. Of course, you will have an ambition. If you don’t get it, you probably get heartbroken.
“But then, if you are a true party man, if the general opinion of the leaders of the party is candidate ‘A’ go for it. And if you don’t want to go for that, go for the election.
“Yes, there are some places where people were promised but then politics is dynamic. Today is one thing, and tomorrow another thing.
“So where somebody is promised a ticket, even the governor promised a ticket, at the end of the day, you will find out that even the governor there are certain things he cannot do because there are other stakeholders that are more important than a governor in the state.
“In our own party, when the leaders in their wisdom have decided let’s go through consensus. Where there are no consensus, we go for direct primaries.
“So I’m telling you we are prepared. We are ready. And of course, where the hearts are broken, we’ll try to mend them with good words, promises, also appointments and so on. The party has mechanism in trying to appease those that their hearts are going to be broken.”
