In other words, it does not matter the level of disagreements or fights but our ability to come together and be able to resolve our differences and move the party\u00a0forward, is most important. So we are open for reconciliation and we are ready to resolve all our differences and move the party forward.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The interest of the party and the nation supercede all other parochial interests. I want you to be conscious of the fact that the interest of the party and the interest of the nation supercede every other interest. With this in mind, I believe that we will be able to come together and have a more formidable party for the future of the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I also want to appreciate the judiciary, so far for standing on the path of justice. and for standing on the part of rule of law, I want to appreciate all the justices starting from the Federal High Court and to the Court of Appeal for doing justices. I want to believe that the courts will continue to do justices in respect of the Labour Party cases.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I want to appreciate the state chairmen for standing firmly by us, we drew a lot of strength from you. Seeing that you were behind us gave us courage and the might to continue to fight on. You are the one that gave us the courage to weather the storm. Just as you drew inspiration from us, we are also drawing inspiration from you.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I want to assure you that there are better days ahead and that successes will be ours at the end of the day and that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The state chairmen were also full of appreciation for the leadership of the party having steered the party from dangers arising from intra crisis that almost consumed it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on behalf of the chairmen, the Enugu state chairman, Dr Casmir Agbo said that it took the visionary leadership of the party ably lead by Barrister Abure to overcome the crisis.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We are using this opportunity to appreciate the judiciary for positively rising up the challenges with proper interpretation of the Nigeria constitution, the electoral law and the party constitution. We are however, calling on our brothers to sheathe the sword and join hands with the Abure leadership to reposition the party.&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">SIGN:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obiora Ifoh<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">National Publicity Secretary<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Labour Party<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The national chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure has charged the state chairmen of the party to always prioritize the interests of the party and that of the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":116158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
