The crisis rocking the Labour Party (LP) has further escalated as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, and his supporters, known as Obidients, have abandoned the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, to his fate.

According to reports, the move is not unconnected to the internal crisis rocking the party structure since the 2023 general elections.

After a series of legal battles with the factional chairman of the party, Lamidi Apapa, Abure has been in the news over alleged financial impropriety and other disturbing issues.

According to reliable sources, Comrade Isaac Balami, a former Deputy National Campaign Manager to Peter Obi/Dati Presidential Campaign from the northern region, may take over from Abure.

An insider quoted in the report that some party leaders and chieftains have had a meeting and suggested Belami as the party’s next National Chairman.

When contacted, Balami said he was “under pressure to run for the chairmanship of the party”, but that there are issues on ground still stopping his declaration.

According to him, he doesn’t even know whether the convention will be held as scheduled as “there are forces fighting against the unity and progress of the party”.


He added: “But then, I can’t refuse or turn down a request coming directly from the youth constituency of the party.

“You know they were instrumental to the change in the political narrative and advancement of the Labour Party in the last election, so we can’t joke with their position.

“I truly appreciate their commitment to the success of our party and I won’t take their call for granted.

”In a couple of hours, we shall make our final decision on this matter.”

They should all go and beg Lamidi Apapa, the authentic National Chairman of the party.

Hahahaha

Ashewo wey continue to dey change location yet claiming to be a virgin

Allow the people's choice to breathe

peter and obedient are with comrade Apapa now.

all hail comrade apapa

Seriously serious

All na for personal interest

This life eh, e get as e be. One ipobidient said Abure is APC mole. Ipobidients unanimously agree Simon Ekpa is working for Tinubu. A day is coming when they will say gringory and Nnamdi Kanu are APC moles.

Peter obi can't stand with abure on this. Abure need to be clean and pure.

If una try am, we, the south south will abandon una labour party

Edo no be Lagos abeg

In a roforofo fight between a corrupt Ajaero (from Imo/SE) and a corrupt Abure (from Edo/SS), who una expect Peter Obi and his SE-dominated Obidient cult/mob to support? No be all of us mumu for this country. Dem never born Obi to agitate for Ajaero's outster from NLC. Na the soft target Abure hin fit use flex.

Nothing is escalating.

Abure has gone rogue and needs to be put on a leash. That’s what is going on and it will happen.

Meanwhile, I have my suspicion of this Balami guy. He’s always looking like a snake to me. Like an agent of the opposition planted around Obi to collect information.

I suggest enough security checks is done on him before he’d be given such a magnitude of office.

If not that I doubt the capacity of Yinusa Tanko, I’d have preferred him to the Balami guy.

Obi will not focus on getting his acts right or he's relying on jumping to another party?

Cool



Due process should be followed to ensure a transparent convention.

From the fabu fables of Bulaba News Network (BNN).

Agbado pigs...rest!

OBI and abure are just after labour party money, fraudulent group of people claiming party leaders

It's a three way battle for supremacy

Every group has seen the money flying around so greed takes over.

1. NLC Ajaero wants control of the labour party
2. Abure wants to continue his firm grip on the party
3. Obidient mob want to appoint their own key Obidient to lead the party.

Balami below is an Obidient that the headless mob wants to take over the party from Abure, but Abure and his colleagues have been trying to enact a law to shut out people that are not up to two years in the party from contesting for leadership positions.
