"It's Time for Alex Otti and Peter Obi, Causers of Split, to Listen Attentively to the Clear Verdict of the Supreme Court" - Abure (paraphrased)
Title: Julius Abure Holds Fast: "I'm Still the Damn Chair!"
The ongoing drama over the leadership of the Labour Party isn't slowing down, with National Chairman, Julius Abure, making it clear that he ain't budging from his position. Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, Abure believes he's still the man in charge.
During a heated press conference in Abuja, Abure threw some serious shade at party members he thinks are twisting the Supreme Court decision to suit their dirty agendas. He specifically called out big-time players like Alex Otti, the Governor of Abia State, and Peter Obi, the party's 2023 presidential candidate, who've reportedly been stirring the pot.
If you didn't know, the Supreme Court decision overturned a lower court ruling, stating that it had no business meddling in the Labour Party's internal affairs. This ruling, according to Abure, ain't got nothing to do with his chairmanship. He's like, "The Supreme Court, contrary to the rumors, actually confirmed our National Convention in Nnewi back in March. Simple as that."
Abure stressed that political parties are like corporations, with their own constitutions that should be followed when it comes to internal decisions - judicial intervention ain't needed. He went on to say that the party's internal disputes should be resolved within the party, using the party's published guidelines, not in the courtroom.
He also reminded party members to respect the party's constitutional processes and not jump ship every time things get tough. Why should a leader abandon their post just because there's a spat going on, especially one that's been on their side before? That's Abure's advice to the party heavyweights.
Our site reports that Abure criticized some party members for intentionally misinterpreting the court's decision to confuse the public, especially those with personal ambitions wanting to bring chaos to the party. He further confirmed that the party had fulfilled all legal requirements before the National Convention and the convention was held legally on March 27, 2024.
While Abure is keeping his seat warm, it's unclear whether INEC will take a stance on the party's leadership situation. In the meantime, expect more drama as factions within the Labour Party continue to flex their muscles.
