The Labour Party National Transition Committee (NTC) has issued a public disclaimer, exposing Julius Abure’s fraudulent court victory and warning of electoral doom for party aspirants who participate in his congresses and primaries.
According to the NTC, Abure’s court case was a “Nollywood drama” staged with his proxy friend, Lawrence Erewele, to procure a favorable judgment from an unsuspecting judge, Justice J.K. Omotosho. The NTC claims that Abure deliberately excluded the Labour Party NTC from the suit to ensure an uncontested victory.
The NTC points out that Justice Omotosho’s ruling explicitly stated that the court lacked jurisdiction over the internal party matter and dismissed the case. The NTC argues that this dismissal means the case never had legal standing, rendering Abure’s celebration of victory baseless.
The NTC alleges that Abure’s motive was to use the court judgment as a cover to conduct lucrative congresses and elections across Nigeria, despite knowing that these exercises would be nullified by the courts, just like in Zamfara and Plateau states.
The Labour Party NTC has warned party members and aspirants to avoid participating in Abure’s congresses and primaries, as they would be nullified by the courts. The NTC is preparing a blueprint for constituting Labour Party State Transition Committees (LP STC) for all 36 states and Abuja FCT, towards nationwide state congresses and an expansive national convention.
In conclusion, the Labour Party NTC has called on party members and aspirants to reject Abure’s fraudulent activities and support the NTC’s efforts to build a stronger, more inclusive Labour Party.
