Appeal Court judgment vindicating Abure good omen for us: Labour Party
The Lagos chapter of the Labour Party (LP) says the Appeal Court’s affirmation of Julius Abure as the national chairman is a good omen for the party’s survival and fortune.
The party secretary in Lagos, Sam Okpala, stated this in an interview on Wednesday while reacting to the appellate court’s ruling.
On Wednesday in Abuja, the court affirmed Mr Abure as the Labour Party’s chair.
According to Mr Okpala, the ruling should put to rest all the divisions and infighting within the party.
“This is a vindication of the truth. We, in the Labour Party, Lagos State, are happy with the development. When a lie is unchallenged for a long time, it going to become or look like the truth; and no matter how far lies travel, truth must catch up and overtake it.
“That is just what has happened with the court of appeal’s ruling in favour of Abure. This portent good omen for the party to move forward together and swing another surprise in elections,” the secretary said.
According to Mr Okpala, some party leaders and their followers who are looking for ways to decimate the party must halt their actions for the party’s sake.
“There is no leadership crisis again in the party. The party remains one, and together, we are going to be marching forward,” Mr Okpala added.
Mr Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) and his former deputy, Lamidi Apapa-led faction, were locked in legal battles over the party’s national chairmanship position.
