He explained that the crisis involves Julius Abure, whose tenure as national chairman reportedly elapsed on June 10, 2024.
The party’s constitution dictates the removal process, and Obi clarified that Abure’s removal was in line with the constitution
Writing on his X-handle he said,
“Yesterday, Governor Alex Otti @alexottiofr and I, along with the Caretaker Chairman and Secretary of the Labour Party, convened to discuss and review recent developments, including the judgment delivered by an Abuja High Court on the same day.
“I urge all members of the Labour Party to remain calm and patient as we continue to engage in discussions and consultations.
“Our goal is to emerge stronger and more unified, standing together as one united front.
We must not allow this to divert us from addressing the pressing issues affecting our people today.
“We have always known that the task of creating a new Nigeria that is possible will not come without challenges.”
