The Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has urged the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) to respect the judgment of the Federal High Court recognising the Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had affirmed the removal of Abure as the National Chairman of the Party.
The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Nenadi Usman-led National Caretaker Committee as the lawful leadership of the party.
Reacting to the development, Otti urged Abure to sheath his sword and turn a new leaf.
He promised to forgive and reintegrate the Abure faction if they ‘turn a new leaf and become law-abiding.”
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, Otti described the judgment as sound and thanked those he called lovers of democracy for standing with LP during the troubling times.
The Governor called on those responsible for all the frivolous litigations against the party to sheathe their sword and respect the judgement, which he said is in tandem with the earlier judgement of the Supreme Court.
Otti charged the national leadership of the Labour Party to see the court victory as an opportunity to rejig the party by ensuring that peace, unity and justice reigned, in line with the party’s constitution and ideals.
