Despite Opposition, Abure Re-Elected As LP National Chairman
The embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Julius Abure, has been re-elected for a second term by a unanimous affirmation of delegates.
His election took place despite opposition from the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.
The Chairman of the National Convention and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Mr Ikechukwu Emetu, declared Abure the winner during the party’s national convention that held on Wednesday in Nnewi, Anambra State.
Abure has been having a running battle with the NLC leadership led by Joe Ajaero.
The NLC has called for Abure’s resignation as party chairman and the immediate constitution of a caretaker transition committee to organise a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention for the party.
