A social critic, Aisha Yesufu has criticised the erstwhile National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Julius Abure for allegedly lying about the party funds.
Aidsha in an X post said, ” he thinks one can lie
shamelessly without being fact-checked”.
The statement comes after Abure claimed that Yesufu and
Pastor Itua Ighodalo were responsible for managing the party’s presidential
candidate campaign funds in the 2023 general election.
Abure made the claims amid rumours that he mismanaged the
party’s funds, claiming that the party never had access to the accounts opened
for donations to support Obi’s candidacy.
He had insisted that Yesufu and Ighodalo were the only
signatories to the accounts.
“The party was never involved in the distribution of those
resources. Our interest was to see how we could produce a president for the
party. How it was done was not our concern. Hence, we gave them free rein. We
allowed them to entrust their resources to whomever they wanted. We followed
them loyally by allowing them to administer the campaign funds,” Abure said.
However, Yesufu dug up Abure’s post on X in 2022, in which
he asked people to take ownership of the party’s campaign by donating a minimum
of N1,000 to the Labour Party account.
Aisha blasted the embattled party chairman, saying, “Julius
Abure thinks we are still in 1980 where one can lie shamelessly without being
fact-checked,” Yesufu posted on X.
