Embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, has been re-elected for a second term by a unanimous affirmation of delegates.
The Chairman of the National Convention and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Ikechukwu Emetu declared him the winner during the party’s national convention that held in Nnewi, Anambra state on Wednesday, March 27.
Other serving national officers of the party were also returned.
Abure has been having a running battle with a faction led by Lamidi Apapa, suspended national treasurer, Ms. Oluchi Oparah and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leadership led by Joe Ajaero.
Earlier, the NLC had called for Abure’s resignation as party chairman and the immediate constitution of a caretaker transition committee to organise a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention for the party.
