Asked if the All Progressives Congress is being threatened by LP in Nasarawa, he said, the Labour Party's strength lies with the Labour Union but they had declared support for the APC governorship candidate in the state.

The governor affirmed thus:

“The Labour Party strength has been with the labour union itself, NUT, NUTRW and all the rest. For your information, they were not part of the gathering. They had come out clear to endorse APC governorship candidate in Nasarawa State and they had given their reasons and because of that, they were not invited.
“The leadership of labour in Nasarawa State were invited also to go and put the same kind of show. They joined their counterpart in Kebbi State and also endorsed the governorship candidate of APC in Kebbi State because of what they demonstrated in Nasarawa State.
