Setback For Peter Obi Faction As INEC Recognises Abure As Labour Party National Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially recognized Julius Abure as the Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

In a letter to Abure and Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the Commission’s Secretary, Mrs. Rose Oriaran-Anthony, invited them to the fourth consultative meeting with political parties scheduled for Thursday in Abuja.

On October 8, 2024, a Federal High Court in Abuja ruled that the 2024 Labour Party national convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State, in March was valid, constitutional, and compliant with Nigerian laws. Justice Emeka Nwite mandated INEC to acknowledge and grant all privileges to the Labour Party’s National Working Committee led by Abure.

Following the meeting with INEC, the Labour Party’s National Secretary, Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, expressed satisfaction that the Commission had adhered to the court’s ruling, despite the party’s previous exclusion from earlier engagements.

He noted that the Labour Party has now regained its place among the other 18 political parties.

Ibrahim added that this development positions the party to participate actively in upcoming political activities, including the Anambra governorship election, as confirmed by INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

“With the issue of leadership now completely resolved, I urge every member of the party to rally round the Abure leadership. What transpired is only a family affairs and we will as a family work towards restoring confidence to the party and every aggrieved or misled member of the party.”

“Labour Party will come back stronger but we need everyone to join in the process of rebuilding the paper. It is a no victor nor vanquish situation. We are all winners. The party is however supreme and every member must work towards achieving set targets of the party,” Ibrahim said.
