 Labour Party Disowns NEC Meeting, Warns Abia Governor Otti


The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has publicly disavowed a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of party stakeholders held on Friday, labeling it as illegal, unconstitutional, and void of any effect. In a strongly worded statement, the faction condemned the gathering, asserting it lacked legitimacy and authority within the party’s structure.


The Abure-led leadership specifically cautioned Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, against what it described as the misuse of state resources to fund frivolous activities. The faction accused Otti of involvement in the unauthorized meeting, urging him to focus on governance and refrain from actions that could further deepen divisions within the party.


“The so-called NEC meeting is a nullity and holds no weight in the affairs of the Labour Party,” a spokesperson for the Abure faction stated. “We advise Governor Otti to prioritize the welfare of Abia State citizens and avoid squandering public funds on inconsequential gatherings.”


This development underscores the ongoing internal crisis within the Labour Party, as factions continue to jostle for control ahead of critical political engagements. The Abure-led group maintains its position as the legitimate leadership, while the organizers of Friday’s meeting have yet to respond to the allegations.
