The national leadership of the Labour Party has taken a swipe at those allegedly disseminating falsehood against its National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure using every available social media platforms to desist from further media trial of the Chairman and charges them to approach the court if they are convinced of their allegations.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary (NPS), Obiora Ifoh, the LP also said that the party’s national leader, Mr. Peter Obi is not under any pressure to leave the party ahead of the 2027 general over the sustained smear campaign against Abure.
Ifoh, said that Obi has restated his willingness to remain in the party knowing that all the attacks at Abure were sponsored and orchestrated by some political opponents in the high places.
The statement reads; “It astonishes us how far our detractors can go in ensuring that the party swims from one ocean of crisis to another in their evil desire to create disharmony between the party and our leaders.
“We are aware that Abure is not the target of these ferocious and malicious missiles. We are also aware that huge sums of money has been mapped out to wage a propaganda war against our leader ahead of the 2027 general election.
“The feat of the Labour Party in the last general election rattled not a few persons and the fear of the future has driven them to begin so early to prepare ahead. Part of the strategy is to make any political platform unviable for Obi to sail with.
“The party is also aware that any Political Party Peter Obi finds himself in as a vehicle for the 2027 presidential election including the Labour Party, will not be spared by the political hirelings who are already recruited to dismember such a party.”
