The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Comrade Julius Abure, has strongly asserted that there is no vacuum in the leadership of the party, dismissing any claims to the contrary as invalid.
On Monday, April 7, at the ongoing National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the party’s National Secretariat in Utako, Abuja, Abure emphasized that the leadership under his tenure remains intact.
“There is no vacuum in the leadership of the Labour Party. The Supreme Court judgement did not say the tenure of the current NWC under my leadership has expired,” Abure stated.
He further condemned the actions of the so-called National Caretaker Committee, describing it as an illegal body. “The so-called National Caretaker Commie is an illegal body unknown to any law guiding the Labour Party,” he said.
Abure also clarified that the recent event in Umuahia, Abia State, was not a legitimate NEC meeting and reiterated that the purported caretaker committee has no legal standing. “What happened in Umuahia, Abia State, was not a NEC meeting; as such, the so-called caretaker committee is an illegal entity. The purported caretaker committee is just a meddlesome interloper whose sole purpose is to destroy our party,” he added.
