Embattled Labour Party Chairman Barr. Julius Abure Urges Abia Gov. Otti to Join Coalition

… Labour Party recalibrating ahead 2027

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure has asked the Abia State governor, Dr. Alex Otti to stop deceiving members of the public that he has not joined his illegal and unconstitutional Caretaker Committee in the coalition party.

Barrister Abure said that the leadership of the Labour Party is in a hurry to recalibrate the party ahead of 2027.

The Abia State governor had recently said that he is still a member of the Labour Party and will not join the coalition party even when all the members of his political camp, including the chairman of the illegal caretaker committee, Nenadi Usman and Peter Obi had joined the coalition.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Friday, Labour Party chairman, Barrister Abure said, “Our attention has been drawn to Otti’s interview where he said that he is still a member of the Labour Party. We are not going to fall for his deception again. How can he be in Labour Party when recently he conducted the local government election in Abia State with Zenith Labour Party as his party?

“He should not think that every Nigerian is bereft of knowledge. He formed and he is funding the illegal caretaker committee that had formally joined the ADC. The icing on the cake was the Wednesday unveiling of the coalition where every member of the caretaker committee formally joined the ADC.

“We are shocked that Otti is paradoxically trying to mislead members of the Labour Party to say that he is still a member of the Labour Party. In any event, we had earlier suspended him indefinitely from the party because of his anti party activities.

Labour Party is on the move again, we have the best brand in Nigeria and we are eager to engage young Nigerians who have the interest of the nation at heart. We are therefore willing to let go everyone, no matter how high, whose interest in Nigeria is self driven, opportunistic politicians who are not principled.

Labour Party is not and cannot be in any coalition because coalition of political parties are ideologically bereft. It is a marriage of political strange fellows whose only agenda is power grabbing. It is selfish in nature and no true Democrat will agree to such amalgam. Labour Party is therefore in a hurry to sanitize itself of people without character.

It is on this note that I call on Dr. Alex Otti to move on because he cannot be in Labour Party and be working against the party.
