Despite NLC’s opposition, Abure re-elected as Labour Party’s National chairman

The embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Julius Abure, has been re-elected for a second term by a unanimous affirmation of delegates.

The Chairman of the National Convention and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Ikechukwu Emetu declared him the winner during the party’s national convention that held in Nnewi, Anambrastate on Wednesday, March 27.

Abure has been having a running battle with the NLC leadership led by Joe Ajaero. Earlier, the NLC called for Abure’s resignation as party chairman and the immediate constitution of a caretaker transition committee to organise a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention for the party.
