The Edo State chapter of Labour Party (LP) has congratulated the National Chairman of the party, Barr. Julius Abure on the victory at the Federal High Court sitting in Benin, today in a suit challenging his legitimacy as the national m chairmanship of the party.
In a press statement signed by Airen Igbinedion, Edo State
Publicity Secretary of the Party and made available to newsmen stated that the judgment is a victory for the constitution of Labour Party, which clearly states that no ward, local government, or state has the power to suspend or remove the National Chairman from office as only a two-thirds majority votes from a national convention organized by the National Chairman solely for that purpose can remove the National Chairman from office.
According to him, “The State Working Committee (SWC), under the able chairmanship of the Rt. Honourable (Mrs) Elizabeth Ativie, hereby calls on members and supporters of our great party to rally around our National Chairman to deliver victory for our party and its candidate in the September 21 election. The Abure victory, coming at a time when the state is in dire need of good governance, should be seen as an impetus to win the election.”
The statement further urged all members of Labour Party and Obidient supporters in Edo State to continue their evangelism to take back Edo and Nigeria from usurpers.
