The Julius Abure-led wing of the Labour Party has commenced its congresses in states across the Federation, excluding Abia State.
This was revealed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
The statement noted that the ward Congress is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2, while the Local Government Congress is planned for Thursday, December 4.
The statement further indicated that the State Congress is slated for Saturday, December 6, at the party secretariats across the various states.
Ifoh explained that the Abia State Congress was suspended after a State High Court in Abia barred the party from proceeding with the exercise pending the conclusion of charges filed against the party’s state executives.
“Though the party resolved to comply with the order, even though the court lacks the jurisdiction however, the party’s legal department has already taken steps to vacate the order. This will enable Abia state hold its own Congress at a later date.
“The supervision teams sent by the national leadership to some of the venues have returned positive reports on the progress of the congresses nationwide.
“Labour Party is therefore calling on Nigerians to embrace the party ahead of the 2027 general election. We are repositioning to improve on our capacity to drive the leadership of this great nation soonest,” the statement said.
