The Labour Party (LP) has denied receiving a N50 million bribe from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as alleged by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The party said it has no knowledge of such payments and has never accepted money from any external source.
LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh stated in Abuja that the party was surprised by Atiku’s claim.
He criticized the former vice president for making the allegation without providing evidence, calling it reckless and unfair to opposition parties.

Atiku made the claim during a national conference on democracy in Abuja, accusing the APC of offering financial inducements to weaken the opposition.
In response, LP insisted it operates on internally generated funds and remains committed to its principles despite challenges.
The party urged Atiku to back his statement with proof, warning that unverified claims could mislead the public and harm democratic opposition.
LP also emphasized that a strong opposition is essential for democracy and should not be undermined by baseless accusations.
