The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure on Monday warned there is no vacuum in the party’s leadership.
Abure issued the warning ahead of the party’s National
Executive Committee, NEC, meeting called by LP’s former presidential candidate,
Peter Obi and Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.
Speaking at a public conference at the party secretariat,
Abure described Obi and Otti as betrayals.
He noted that the Supreme Court was clear in its judgment,
stressing that LP matters are internal affairs of political platforms.
According to Abure: “Tell them that there is no vacancy in
our party. In the Labour Party, we don’t betray our candidates even though some
betray us after giving them tickets.
“We also want to urge those who have been deceived by last
week’s misleading interpretation of the Supreme Court judgment to disregard the
speculation. I remain the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
“Again, the Labour Party Constitution does not recognise the
setting up of a caretaker committee for party affairs.”
Obi and Otti had called for a NEC meeting scheduled to hold
on Wednesday in Abuja.
The duo said the meeting would be followed by a town hall
engagement with major stakeholders at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.
