JUST IN: Abure-led Labour Party disowns new caretaker chairman
The Labour Party has been plunged into further turmoil as the Julius Abure-led faction disowned the newly appointed caretaker chairman, Nenadi Usman.
Despite a previous Court of Appeal judgment affirming Abure as national chairman, the Labour Party National Convention constituted a caretaker committee, sparking controversy.
Earlier, Senator Usman was declared as the chairman of a 29-member national caretaker committee of the Labour Party (LP).
The announcement was made by the 2023 Presidential candidate of the party, Mr Peter Obi.
This was a decision taken at the Labour Party’s extended stakeholders meeting held at the Banquet Hall of the Abia State Government House in Umuahia, Abia State capital on Wednesday.
Reacting, the Abure-led faction rejected the caretaker committee, insisting that Abure remains the legitimate national chairman.
A statement signed by the national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, described Nenadi Usman’s appointment as “illegal and unconstitutional”.
