The Labour Party national chairman, Julius Abure, has found himself in the middle of controversy as he faces accusations of planning to suspend Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate. The suspended National Treasurer of the party, Mrs Oluchi Opara, has come forward to shed light on Abure’s alleged intentions. According to Opara, Abure is targeting Obi because the latter called for a thorough investigation into corruption allegations against Abure.
Opara, who has been suspended for six months from the Labour Party, made these claims during an exclusive interview with The Punch. She revealed that Abure is using members of state executives to further his plan of removing Obi from the party. Opara also stated that Abure is misleading Labour Party state chairmen by telling them that their jobs will be at risk if he is investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Furthermore, it has been reported that Peter Obi himself has voiced his support for a thorough investigation into the party’s accounts, which has only fueled Abure’s alleged attempts to suspend him. Opara emphasized the weighty nature of the allegations against Abure and criticized his tactics of trying to cover up the accusations through deceitful maneuvers.
Yunusa Tanko, the spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, has reaffirmed Obi’s commitment to the party. Tanko dispelled rumors of Obi planning to leave the party or forming a new political entity, stating that Obi’s loyalty remains with the LP. He emphasized that there are no plans for Obi to join or create another political party.
The controversy surrounding Abure’s alleged plans to suspend Peter Obi has sparked tension within the Labour Party. With conflicting reports and accusations flying, the future of the party’s leadership and integrity hangs in the balance. It remains to be seen how this internal turmoil will affect the party’s standing and its members’ trust in its leadership.
In conclusion, the Labour Party finds itself embroiled in a heated internal dispute, with accusations of corruption, deceit, and power struggles plaguing its leadership. The fate of Peter Obi and the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, hangs in the balance as the truth behind these allegations is sought.
