The Labour Party (LP) has clarified that it has not adopted any candidate or aspirant ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria. In an interview, the party's National Vice Chairman, Ceekay Igara, stated that the party currently has no official candidate or aspirant at this stage.Igara emphasized that only the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party possesses the authority to adopt or endorse any candidate. He warned that any individual claiming the party has already adopted a candidate, including reports suggesting an endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term, is speaking in their personal capacity and not on behalf of the party. The statement comes amid speculation about political alignments and possible cross-party endorsements as Nigeria approaches the next electoral cycle. The Labour Party stressed that no such decision has been made, and any future adoption process will follow due party procedures through the NEC.

 â„¹️ NAFDAC Warns Against Using Dichlorvos (SNIPER®) for Food Preservation.


NAFDAC has issued a strong warning to Nigerians about the dangers of using dichlorvos, specifically Sniper®, for preserving food items.  Dichlorvos, commonly used by traders to prevent spoilage, is highly toxic and poses serious health risks, including cancer and death.


Since 2019, the sale of small-volume dichlorvos (100 ml or less) has been banned, and the sale of larger volumes (one litre) is restricted to certified agrochemical outlets. The severe health implications of dichlorvos exposure can cause developmental issues, memory loss, reduced fertility, and potential carcinogenic effects. Traders and merchants are urged to avoid using unauthorised chemicals on food intended for human consumption.


The use of pesticides directly on food is not approved and poses significant health risks, such as dizziness, vomiting, and even death. NAFDAC advises grain merchants, market vendors, and farmers to follow manufacturer guidelines and consider safer alternatives like bio-pesticides. Consumers are also urged to report vendors who use dangerous chemicals to the nearest NAFDAC office, call 0909 763 0506-7 or send an email to reforms@nafdac.gov.ng
