The Abia State leadership of the Labour Party have been inundated with the sacrilegious outing by some unscrupulous individuals aided by certain suspended members of our party, in an attempt to create further divides and disunity within the party.
We want to state categorically that the charade of a meeting is illegal and its outcome null and void abinitio.
The Labour Party in Abia State under the able leadership of Hon. Prince GO Ndubueze is totally under the submission of Barr. Julius Abure led the National Working Committee (NWC).
We hereby dissociate ourselves completely from that inglorious outing. And hence advise our members to disregard whatever directive emanating from that illegal gatherings.
The Party further advises that Abia state resources should rather be channelled to projects that will directly improve the lives of Abians.
The Labour Party constitution is clear as to who is authorized to convene a NEC. Article 14(4)(b) of the party’s constitution empowers the National Secretary in consultation with the National Chairman to convene a NEC or any other national meeting. Also, Article 13(B)(xii) of the party’s constitution mandates only the NEC to have powers to establish adhoc and standing committee of the party and appoint members of such committees.
The Supreme Court judgement of April 4th has affirmed the leadership of Barrister Julius Abure, as such there is absolutely no vacancy in the leadership strata of the Labour Party.
We therefore urge these distractors to either abide by the decision of the Apex court or seek an alternative political platform for the future political pursuit.
Sign
Hon. John Onyekachi Igbojionu.
Acting State Secretary
Labour Party.
Abia State.
