‘Time Up Julius Abure’ – Fresh Crisis As Labour Party Warns Members And Supporters Of The Obidient Movement Against Attacking Abure

The Labour Party’s leadership issued a warning on Wednesday, signaling that it will no longer tolerate what it terms ‘destructive criticism’ of its National Chairman, Julius Abure, from party members and supporters of the Obidient Movement.

This response comes in the wake of calls from certain disgruntled LP members and stakeholders for Abure’s resignation following corruption allegations against him.

The petition, signed by LP party elder Diokpa Ajufo, Obidient Movement member Zariyi Yusuf, Advocate For A New Labour Party representative Dr. Peter Piper, Obidient Diaspora leader Tony Asekome, and Obidient Movement and Advocate For A New Labour Party member Prof. Chris Nwaokobia Jnr, highlighted damning revelations about the compromised state of the party under Abure.

In an open letter addressed to LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and members of the National Working Committee, the aggrieved members cited the recent allegations by LP’s Bayelsa governorship candidate, Udengs Eradiri, as evidence of the party’s deteriorating condition.

However, in a strongly-worded statement, LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, warned the disgruntled members and the groups they represent to cease denigrating the party’s National Chairman.

Ifoh criticized their social media publication titled “Time up Julius Abure, we demand a Labour Party that must stand for the masses of our people,” characterizing it as full of destructive criticisms and unfounded claims.

He also disowned the signatories, asserting that they were not genuine card-carrying members of the party.

He said, “It is natural that after every electoral contest, a few individuals may be disgruntled or aggrieved and as such the party leadership may be exposed to all forms of criticism by both members and non-members alike. But we advise that such criticism must be tailored to aid growth and development in the party, and not necessarily to be destructive.

“Labour Party has had its fair share of intra-crisis and we think that members should desist from escalating further crisis. Being new joiners and not knowing the culture of the party (some of them just a few months old in the party), of course, that is what you get when ignorance and overzealousness overwhelm your reasoning.

“Most of those who authored the statement did not even win their units let alone win their Local Government and State. It is on record that most members of the National Working Committee of the party delivered their units and their states. Barrister Julius Abure, for instance, scored 79 per cent in Edo state, thereby denying other political parties the opportunity to score the required 25 per cent in the state.

“A cursory look at the authors of the statement will also reveal their ignorance on the workings of the party, party constitution, electoral act and the 1999 constitution as amended.”
