The leadership of the Labour Party (LP) says Julius Abure is
still the national chairman.
Farouk Umar, national secretary of the LP, in a statement on
Friday said some unknown faces who claimed to be members of the Edo chapter of
the party at a press conference in Abuja announced the suspension of Abure as
the chairman.
Umar said the suspension of Abure was illegal, noting that
the recognised members of the Edo chapter of the party were not those who
attended the press conference.
“The attention of the leadership of the Labour Party was
called to the press conference held today Friday, 31st March 2023 by some
unknown faces assembled in one room in Abuja wherein they pronounced a
suspension on our National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure,” the statement
reads.
“They also made some
spurious allegations against him which are untrue and concocted by the sponsors
of the Press Conference. We however deemed it fit to make some responses.
“The young men we saw on that visuals are apparently not
anybody from Labour Party in Edo state as claimed.
“The executives of the party in the state, local government
and my ward are well known to the party.
“None of them were at the press conference. We make bold to
say that they are people assembled and rented from some Abuja slums and paid to
read a prepared speech given to them.
“Again, our party constitution is clear on who can suspend
and who cannot suspend the national chairman.
“They should go and read the party constitution. It is only
the National Convention that can suspend the national chairman of the Labour
Party.
“It also must be through such a convention called for the
purpose of the suspension of the national Chairman.”
