Labour Party Crisis, Forgiveness, Unity
Embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure has called on the presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi to help mediate and unite the party in the the interest of Nigerians and Nigeria.
His call is contained in a statement titled: a New Dawn for Labour Party: victory, forgiveness and unity.
Abure said he is poised to building a stronger labour Party, united in purpose and driven by the desire to serve Nigerians.
Abure's statement followed his victory at the federal high court Abuja presided by justice Emeka Nwite which validated the contentious convention held in Nnewi, Anambra state.
He expressed his willingness to reconcile with aggrieved members and party stakeholders who had opposed his leadership, asking them to consider restitution for damages they caused labour party.
Abure has been at odds with party bigwigs and stakeholders who opposed his re-election, arguing that the Nnewi convention that returned him to office was never inclusive.
Peter Obi and the governor of Abia State Alex Otti, with several party stakeholders constitute a 29-man caretaker committee, chaired by former minister Nenadi Usman, to temporarily oversee the party’s affairs and conduct a broader convention for new executives at the ward, local government, state, and national levels.
However, Justice Emeka Nwite, in his ruling on Tuesday, issued an order compelling INEC to validate the Nnewi convention and recognise the Abure-led leadership of the Labour Party.
