LP dies today as Abure, Otti and Peter Obi set to clash at Stakeholders’ meeting in Abia

Whether or not the Labour Party would finally die is going to be put to test today as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure and his loyalists, Mr Peter Obi, Abia State Governor Alex Otti and the party’s members of his National Working Committee are set to rock horns in Umuahia.

According to Punch, Abure and his loyalists are planning to boycott the Stakeholders’ meeting which was initiated by Otti and endorsed by Obi.

“We won’t attend it. Were you not at last week’s briefing, where the national chairman subtly warned the governor and other party members to desist from meddling in the party administration? He meant every word he said that day,” Punch quoted a source as saying.

Otti and Abure has been at odds for sometimes now. The Abia State governor had earlier called the National Executive Committee of Labour Party to hold a meeting on August 31 to dissolve the executives at the ward, local government, state and national levels, saying their tenures have expired.

But Abure rebuffed this, accusing Otti of meddling in the internal working of the party.

So the meeting didn’t hold. However, with the backing of the party’s presidential candidate in 2023, Otti has proceeded to reschedule the same meeting but, this time, calling it “Stakeholders’ meeting.”

In barely 18 months after it has shaken the two mega political parties in Nigeria, Labour Party has tottered and is about falling to pieces.
