Our Illegal Suspension: Abure Supervising Burial Plan Of His Political Future – LP lawmakers
Three members of the House of Representatives on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), have described their purported suspension from the party as “laughable and a joke carried too far” by Julius Abure.
The lawmakers noted that Abure has appointed himself as a willing undertaker for the destruction of the soul of the Labour Party, stressing that, ironically, he is only supervising the burial plan of his image and integrity as a public servant and political leader.
A joint statement issued on Friday, May 9, 2025, by Hons Àfam Ogene, Leader of the LP Caucus, Seyi Sowunmi, Deputy Leader and Amobi Ogah, member, expressed dismay and serious reservation that Abure, instead of working to improve the fortunes of the party, seemed focused on orchestrating its disintegration to appease external forces driving his actions.
Julius Abure, factional National chairman of the LP, had announced the suspension of Hons Ogene, Sowunmi and Ogah, a prominent member of the caucus and also announced the suspension of the only governor elected on the platform of the party, Dr Alex Otti of Abia, Senators Ireti Kingibe and Darlington Nwokocha, Secretary of the National Caretaker Committee of the Labour Party.
The LP lawmakers noted that Abure overreached himself and his band of jesters, stressing that it is now evidently clear to everyone who has followed recent events in the LP who is being used to destroyed the party.
According to the lawmakers; “A political party is set up for the specific goal of participating in the democratic process, especially the contestation for power.
“Since the Peter Obi effect of 2023, what has Abure and his gang of undertakers done to enhance the fortunes of the party? In fact, we challenge him and his cohorts to name one single individual of note that they have attracted to the party since 2023.
“From Kogi to Bayelsa, Ondo to Edo, what Abure has done is lead the party to disastrous outcomes.
“The last time around, it was announcing the sack and replacement of Hon. Ogene as caucus leader, but when that didn’t work, he has resorted to contriving a fake suspension order.
