LP chair, Abure attends INEC meeting with parties

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, is leading a party team to a meeting of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, with leaders of the political parties.

The meeting is INEC’s regular quarterly consultative forum to discuss development within the polity and plans for future elections.

DAILY POST recalls that the Commission said that it did not monitor the national convention that returned Abure as the national chairman of the party, fuelling speculations it may not recognise him as the party’s leader.

In addition, the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Abure leadership have been locked in a battle of supremacy, with the NLC insisting that Abure was no longer the National Chairman as his tenure has expired.
