It has become a predictable pattern for the few charlatans who eat from the diseased table of the disgraced character who calls himself a former Chairman of Labour Party, Mr. Julius Abure, to cry like babies from whose mouth breast was taken away any time the authentic leadership of the Labour Party addresses Labour Party issues.
Truly, the breasts of easy fortunes have been taken away from Abure and the few minions he has surrounded himself with. We are talking of the breasts from where millions of naira are sucked away from the pockets of desperate politicians who are attracted to the weight of nobility that the Labour Party epitomises. Mr. Julius Abure and his fellow appointed (not elected) impostors parading themselves as national and state officers of Labour Party are the mouths sucking money from gullible Nigerians through a Labour Party they had turned into a merchant store. But not any more.
The Nigeria Labour Congress tired of the mercantile and criminal tendencies of those who claimed to be Labour Party leaders and their relentless brigandage at putting on the Labour Party a robe that the founding fathers never sewed, has stepped in to say 'enough'.
As most people already know, characters like Julius Abure and his confused lackeys in appointed positions in the states have used fraudulent and unconstitutional means to get to political party positions. Their only motivation is to use party positions to buy and sell without any qualms about the ideology and values of the Labour Party. It is easy to see why Abure would rather die than leave the Labour Party alone. He and his minions have no other means of livelihood.
To remove the stench that the ilk of Belial had brought upon the Labour Party, the first step that the NLC took as the founders and owners of Labour Party (a fact echoed in the Federal High Court Consent Judgement) was to call for the review of the leadership recruitment process in the Labour Party. The NLC demanded for real, inclusive and all encompassing elections into all the party structures and offices of the Labour Party from ward to national level. This is the unimpeachable position of the consent judgement by Justice Gabriel Kolawole in April 2018.
It is the violation of this judgement that rendered the erstwhile so called leadership of Julius Abure and his appointees (contrary to the provisions of the Labour Party Constitution) invalid, illegitimate and illegal. This was part of the reasons the Supreme Court ruled in a very clear language that Abure's tenure had since elapsed.
The tragedy of Abure's erstwhile leadership of the Labour Party is that it was built on fraud and criminality. From the word 'go', the NLC told him and the jobless clowns around him that the noble character of Labour Party abhors shenanigan political conduct.
Back to the issue of constitutionality as ignorantly peddled by an Abure minion who claims to be the Imo State Chairman of the Labour Party. Can he tell us the Convention that produced Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party? By this we mean before the Supreme Court outlawed the Town Hall Meeting in Nnewi that Abure dubbed as a National Convention!
Can Mr. Ihejiagwa tell the world how Abure produced the delegates that returned him and his co-travellers as Labour Party leaders? Where has the Convention of a party ever commenced from top to bottom? Only in Clown Abure's world and in the Labour Party Constitution written in his crooked head that such can happen!
Now, we invite Nigerians to see the depth of our difficulties responding to inanities and bunkum nonsense as the one posed as a write up by Mr. Ihejiagwa. How do you correct incorrigible lackeys who have sold their souls to the devil? How do you do a rejoinder with someone whose shallow write up contains no shred of factual evidence?
We take the pains to respond to hollow write up like the one by Mr. Calistus because we believe that we have the duty of clarification to ordinary Nigerians whose future establishment politicians are toying with using people like Abure as their hatchet man. It is unfortunate that Abure avails himself as the political Judas of our time. We know him very well. He worships money and can sell his family for a few coins.
Now thrashing Abure as the nonentity that he is, we urge Nigerians to leave him and his goons in the landfill of history where they belong. Labour Party has moved on under the National Caretaker Committee (NCC) duly appointed by the NEC of the Labour Party to reposition the Labour Party to fulfil her potentials.
Abure is old news. The topic of the day is that by the Consent Judgement and the Supreme Court Judgement, the Labour Party has been freed from the burden of the thirty pieces of silver thrown at Abure by the political establishment. The Labour Party under the NCC as duly constituted by NEC is currently focused on rebuilding a Labour Party that Abure and his gang almost burnt to the ground. The plumb line is the ongoing nationwide Labour Party membership registration and revalidation exercise in preparation for the inclusive national convention as ordered by the Consent judgement and affirmed by the Supreme Court judgement.
While Abure continues to grasp for loose coins, serious characters in the Labour Party have moved on to reposition the Labour Party from a corner-shop to an ideological political party built on decent values and constitutionality.
