The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Comrade Julius Abure, has asserted that there is no vacancy in the party’s leadership, stating that any claim to the contrary by any individual or group is invalid.
Abure made this statement during his address to party members at the ongoing National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the party’s National Secretariat in Utako, Abuja, on Monday.
He said, “There is no vacuum in the leadership of the Labour Party. The Supreme Court judgement did not say the tenure of the current NWC under my leadership has expired.
“The so-called National Caretaker Commie is an illegal body unknown to any law guiding the Labour Party.
“What happened in Umuahia, Abia State, was not a NEC meeting; as such, the so-called caretaker committee is an illegal entity.
“The purported caretaker committee is just a meddlesome interloper whose sole purpose is to destroy our party.”
