Abure’s Visit to Wike Reveals His True Allegiances, Sponsors, Alleges Labour Party

The faction of the Labour Party (LP) led by Senator Nenadi Usman has proclaimed that the recent viral photograph depicting suspended former National Chairman Julius Abure alongside FCT Minister Nyesom Wike confirms longstanding doubts regarding Abure’s loyalties.

In a vehemently articulated statement released in Abuja on Sunday, Ken Asogwa, Senior Special Adviser (Media) to the Acting National Chairman, declared the image as “evidence” of Abure’s decision to align himself with political forces antagonistic to the party’s principles and advancement.

The statement asserted, “While Mr. Peter Obi is assiduously addressing critical national issues, and Senator Nenadi Usman is engaged in high-level meetings abroad with his full consent—both acting in the paramount interest of the Labour Party and the Nigerian populace—Barr. Julius Abure, the suspended former national chairman, is fraternizing with forces determined to obliterate the party.”

Asogwa accused Abure of betraying the party’s mission by consorting with political figures instrumental in the “systemic collapse” the Labour Party strives to rectify.

“Rather than standing with the people, Abure is seen indulging with the sponsors of oppression, tyranny, and electoral malpractice,” he stated. “His actions further substantiate our longstanding belief: that Julius Abure is not merely unfit for leadership but a willing instrument in the hands of external forces intent on destabilizing the Labour Party from within.”

The LP also accused Abure of deserting the party during pivotal moments, including local government elections in Lagos and gubernatorial campaign launches in Anambra, Kogi, and Edo States.

“He was conspicuously absent at crucial times when the party required leadership, unity, vision, and strategic grassroots mobilization,” the statement continued.

The faction reaffirmed that Abure remains suspended and insisted he no longer holds any legitimate position within the party.

“His neglect of duty, compounded by his ongoing association with political adversaries of the New Nigeria vision, earned him suspension from the party. His persistent engagement with these external forces prompts a fundamental question: Whose agenda is Julius Abure truly serving?” Asogwa queried.

In conclusion, the LP urged Nigerians to draw their own conclusions, asserting that the Labour Party must be “rescued, rebuilt, and returned to its rightful owners — the Nigerian people.”
