They are working to make a positive change for all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur youth leader however , rather than confining himself to the dictates, ethics and roles assigned to him by the party\u2019s constitution has been moving around with all manner of reckless behavior and conduct,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe followed the laid down rules by setting up a disciplinary committee during the NWC meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnslem himself was in attendance, the allegation was tabled before him but he was unable to defend himself, so we have complied with our constitutional provision before suspending any national officer.\u2019\u2019<br \/>\nAbayomi said that the suspension would last for six months after which it can be reviewed upward depending on the level of remorse.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking, Ahanotu promised to work to sustain youths\u2019 momentum behind the party and lead it to victory in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to commit myself to upholding the party\u2019s Constitution by focusing on our manifesto in deepening Social Democracy through various youth oriented programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very glaring that Nigerian youths have gone through difficult times in the past years given the negligence by the successive governments and administrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is more reason why we cannot afford to lose this once in a century opportunity to vote Mr Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed as President and Vice president come February 2023,\u2019\u2019he said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Labour Party (LP) has appointed Mr Kennedy Ahanotu as its acting National Youth Leader, following\u00a0 the suspension of Mr Eragbe Anslem for alleged misconduct and anti-party activities.
