Congress: ‘Abure faction inviting wrath of the gods’ – Abia LP Chairman, Otti
The Chairman of the Nenadi Usman-led faction of the Labour Party, LP, in Abia State, Emmanuel Otti has accused the factional National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure and his supporters of allegedly violating the April 2025 ruling of the Supreme Court.
He also dismissed the recent congresses conducted by the Abure-led faction as a ‘Kangaroo’ exercise that violated the law.
Otti, who addressed journalists on Monday at the LP State office in Umuahia, said he had last week, secured an order from the Abia State High Court stopping the conduct of the LP Congress nationwide, but expressed dismay that the Abure faction disobeyed the order.
He warned that the action could attract the wrath of the gods.
“Remember that in April this year, there was a Supreme Court judgement and that judgement must be followed to the last.
“So, if you are going contrary to the law of the lands, the gods will hit you. If at all they held any Congress anywhere, it was a Kangaroo exercise”, Otti said.
On the welfare of LP members in Abia, Otti said that Governor Alex Otti did not abandon the LP members as claimed by the members of the opposition party.
He explained that the members of his party who worked for the victory of Governor Otti are well accommodated in the administration and not shut out.
He disclosed that a recent sensitisation and evaluation tour his party carried out in various LGAs of the State confirmed the satisfaction of LP members about the performance of Governor Otti.
The LP Chairman further declared that Governor Otti and the Labour Party would win elections in all parts of Abia in 2027, based on what he called the unprecedented performance of the Governor.
