Labour Party’s Edo Chapter Suspends National Chairman Abure
Labour Party’s Edo Chapter Suspends National Chairman Abure
Tensions within the Labour Party (LP) have reached a boiling point as the Edo chapter has taken the drastic step of suspending National Chairman Julius Abure. The suspension, enacted by the executives of his Ward 3 in Arue-Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area, stems from allegations of high-handedness, anti-party activities, and financial impropriety…..CONTINUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision, endorsed by the State Executive Committee (SEC) following a letter from the ward, was finalized during a meeting on May 24, 2024, in Benin. The suspension, effective immediately, prohibits Abure from representing himself as a member of the LP in Ward 3.
Signed by Ward Chairman Thompson Ehiguese and Ward Secretary Stanley Usiomoh, the suspension letter highlighted grievances against Abure’s leadership. This action was supported by a letter of ratification from the SEC, further solidifying Abure’s suspension.
Reports indicate a charged atmosphere at the meeting, with party members chanting “Abure must go!” The SEC, after deliberation, validated the suspension, thereby undermining Abure’s authority as national chairman.
Responding through LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, Abure dismissed the Edo chapter’s action as futile and contrary to the LP constitution. Citing Article 17, subsection 1 of the 2019 LP Constitution, Ifoh argued that only a National Convention with a two-thirds majority could suspend or remove the national chairman. He emphasized that lower-level bodies lacked the authority to take such actions.
Ifoh portrayed the move as a continuation of attacks against Abure, reminiscent of the controversies during the governorship primaries. He remained resolute, stating that legal rulings from Edo High Court and the Appeal Court supported Abure’s position, suggesting that the suspension would ultimately prove ineffective.
The escalating crisis within the LP underscores growing discord and power struggles within the party, raising questions about its future trajectory.
