The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has praised the party’s leadership for promising to refund the nomination and interest form fee<\/a> to the family of a deceased aspirant from Imo State, Chief Humphrey Anumudu.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA\u00a0understands that the deceased,\u00a0Humphrey Anumudu, had purchased the party\u2019s governorship interest form sold for N25 million.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the governorship aspirant died last week Friday in his Lagos home after returning from the party’s meeting at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.<\/p>\n

However, the LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, has stated that as a gesture of empathy and compassion, the party will refund the deceased’s N25 million nomination fee to his immediate family.<\/p>\n

Abure insisted that the opposition party stood for empathy, thus the need to support Anumudu’s family during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

This was stated by the chairman on Tuesday during a meeting with the party’s National Assembly-elect members in Abuja.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Obi thanked the party leadership for agreeing to refund the form’s cost to the deceased’s family via his verified Twitter handle.<\/p>\n

He also praised the party for agreeing to refund N10 million to each governorship aspirant who paid N25 million for the governorship form.<\/p>\n

The LP flagbearer stated that the gestures reflect the party’s responsiveness to Nigerians’ aspirations.<\/p>\n

He wrote: <\/strong><\/p>\n

I applaud the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barr. Julius Abure, and the NWC for also agreeing to refund the cost of the form to the family of a deceased aspirant Chief Humphrey Anumudu from Imo State; and also agreeing to refund N10m to each of those that had paid.<\/em><\/p>\n

These gestures, reflect the Labour Party\u2019s responsiveness to the yearnings of Nigerians.<\/em> -PO<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
