Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has called on the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) to abandon internal conflicts, respect the recent Federal High Court ruling affirming Senator Nenadi Usman’s leadership, and align with the party’s lawful structures.
Reacting to the court judgment, Otti, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, assured that the Abure faction would be forgiven and reintegrated into the party if they “turn a new leaf and commit to being law-abiding.”
Describing the judgment as sound, the governor commended supporters and “lovers of democracy” who stood with LP during its turbulent period.
He urged those behind protracted and frivolous litigations against the party to sheathe their swords and adhere to the court’s decision, which aligns with the earlier verdict of the Supreme Court.
Otti also tasked the national leadership of the Labour Party to leverage the court victory as an opportunity to restructure the party, ensuring that peace, unity, and justice guide its operations in accordance with its constitution and core ideals.
