The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure on Monday warned there is no vacuum in the party’s leadership.
Abure issued the warning ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting called by LP’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi and Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.
Speaking at a public conference at the party secretariat, Abure described Obi and Otti as betrayals.
He noted that the Supreme Court was clear in its judgment, stressing that LP matters are internal affairs of political platforms.
According to Abure: “Tell them that there is no vacancy in our party. In the Labour Party, we don’t betray our candidates even though some betray us after giving them tickets.
“We also want to urge those who have been deceived by last week’s misleading interpretation of the Supreme Court judgment to disregard the speculation. I remain the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
“Again, the Labour Party Constitution does not recognise the setting up of a caretaker committee for party affairs.”
Media Talk Africa had reported that Obi and Otti had called for a NEC meeting scheduled to hold on Wednesday in Abuja.
The duo said the meeting would be followed by a town hall engagement with major stakeholders at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.
