The Labour Party’s 36 State Chairmen, along with the Federal Capital Territory, have denied rumors of a plot to suspend their leader and 2023 Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
Dismissing allegations against Party Chairman Julius Abure as the work of detractors, the chairmen expressed satisfaction with the day-to-day management of party affairs.
They clarified during a solidarity visit that the party has not considered suspending Peter Obi, reaffirming his leadership and commitment to addressing the nation’s challenges.
The chairmen also dispelled claims of financial impropriety, emphasizing transparency in party fund management and denouncing unrecognized individuals falsely claiming to be party officials.
They reiterated confidence in Abure’s leadership and passed a unanimous vote of confidence in the National Chairman and his executive.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Chairman of the Council of State Chairmen of the party, Ceekay Igara said;
“We want to use this opportunity to debunk the allegation that the Labour Party is planning to suspend our National Leader, Peter Obi.
“Our party is under the worst siege ever, including unleashing fierce propaganda against the party.
“The party has not at any time contemplated a suspension of our leader. He remains our leader and will continue to lead the party in our avowed determination to pull this nation out from the strangulation under this present government.”
“We are also using this opportunity to beg our media friends to cease on going media trial against our party and its leaders. What you are witnessing now is orchestrated and will fizzle out very soon.”, he said.
