Alliance for All Labour Party Professionals and Stakeholders (AALPPS) has called on Nigerians and Labour Party members in particular to disregard the baseless claims and misinformation being spread by some disgruntled members of the party, insisting that Barrister Julius Abure is the authentic National Chairman of the Labour Party.
In a statement issued by the convener of the professional group, Ambassador Blessing Elaigwu in Abuja on Saturday, she said that the NLC sponsored National Transition Committee, are merely attention seeking group whose purpose was to disrupt the progress of the party.
She said that Barrister Abure’s leadership has been validated by the party’s constitution and electoral laws. While the so called NTC is known to the party.
Below is the text of the statement:
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE LEGITIMATE CONGRESSES 2024
“We, the members and supporters of the Labour Party, wish to counter the misleading press statement circulated by some individuals aimed at discrediting our esteemed leader, Barrister Julius Abure.
“The congresses organized by Barrister Abure are legitimate and in line with the party’s constitution and electoral laws. The Nnewi convention of March 27, 2024, was a successful and peaceful gathering of party faithful, which reaffirmed Barrister Abure’s leadership and vision for the party.
“We urge all members to disregard the baseless claims and misinformation spread by those seeking to disrupt our progress. Barrister Abure’s leadership has been validated by the party’s constitution and electoral laws.
“INEC and other stakeholders are working with the Abure -led NWC to build a stronger and more united Labour Party.
“Please note that there is no national transition committee within the labour party currently that is recognized by the labour party and INEC. Let us peacefully go about our businesses as we approach state/LGA/ward congress.
“Let us stand together against misinformation and unite behind our leader, Barrister Julius Abure.”
