Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure, has issued a strong challenge to former presidential candidate Peter Obi and other aspirants, demanding they provide evidence of financial support to him or the party during the 2023 general elections.
Abure's Denial
Abure categorically denied receiving funds for personal use from any candidate, including Obi. He urged them to publicly declare any financial support, specifying who brought the money, who it was given to, and where it was sent.
Threat to Expose
Abure warned that if provoked further, he would expose those behind the party's crisis, claiming they would be left "reeking like rotten eggs." He announced plans to convene a world press conference to address allegations and internal tensions.
Accusations Against Governor Otti
Abure also criticized Abia State Governor Alex Otti, accusing him of contributing nothing to the party's coffers during the election. He challenged Otti to come forward and provide evidence if he had given any financial support.
Conclusion
The Labour Party has been dealing with internal conflicts, transparency, and leadership concerns since the 2023 election. Abure's statement has added fuel to the fire, and it remains to be seen how the party will navigate its challenges.
