Nenadi Vs Abure: Sir Dele Abiola Meets Atayese in his Den

It was a surprise and unbelievable event that the Oyo State Interim Chairman of the Labour Party Sir Dele Abiola could just lead a handful of his interim team to the den of the former Chairman of the party Mr Sodiq Tunji (Atayese) who is still holding on as the chairman of the party regardless of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman appointment of the interim committee for many of the states of the federation.

Earlier on 2nd of March, a letter had been dispatched to Atayese demanding for the official handing over of whatever party's assets and liabilities under his care to the interim state working committee. Why those at the office refused to collect the the dispatched letter in his behalf, a soft copy was sent to Atayese via is WhatsApp number. He acknowledged the receipt of it. By yesterday 4th of March, it was agreed that they can both meet today at the party Secretariat under the control of Atayese believing that he will never come or perhaps he would have been there with thugs to take over the party secretariat from them by force.

At the brief meeting that lasted for more that one hour, after introductions of his entourages, sir Dele Abiola notified the Atayese team of the existence of the Interim State Working Committee of the Labour Party and demanded for the Handing Over of Party's assets and liabilities to his interim leadership.

The former Chairman who acknowledged the ascendance of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman as the National Chairman of the Labour Party via the judgement of an Abuja High Court maintained that the Supreme Court had ruled that matters of political parties are internal matters but agreed to follow due process. He also affirmed that he has been in contact through one of the Nenadi' deputies.

Sodiq Tunji Atayese maintained that he has conducted Congress in Oyo State and was witnessed by the INEC officials in the state.

With many occasional threats to let loose the gate of hell on the visitors, even with many unprintable words and bewilderment, Atayese and many others in the meeting wondered and salute the courage of the interim Chairman Sir Dele Abiola to have dare to come to their den.

Atayese team also asked whether their was any letter from senator Nenadi Usman requesting them to hand over the party Secretariat. He said even of there is or was any letter of appointment, that is null and void. 

However , it can be deduced that as much as he and his team believed that there can be upturn of the High Court Judgement that enthroned Nenadi in the appeal, he also is ready and has been making efforts to align with the party's National Working Committee through those around the National Chairman just to retain the party structures in the State just has his loyalty shifted from Alhaj Lamidi Apapa to Mr. Julius Abure in desperate determination to retain the party's platform for usual negotiations with the highest bidders.

Sir Dele Abiola in responding to all the vituperation, said the Interim State Working Committee will notify the national of all their concerns and questions and that due process devoid of illegality will be followed to put the party back in lines.

Against all expectations, the meeting ended with the two sides taking several pictures. The security officer of the State Security Service were present.

Inaugural Speech of Sir Dele Abiola as the Oyo State Labour Party's Interim Chairman

 

Sir Dele Abiola in the center 

Protocols:

Introductions: We give thanks to the Lord God Almighty, who against all odds and entanglement, made it possible for us as a party , to move forward.

Against all odds from within and without. The opposition political parties are unstoppable. There is nothing new confronting us as a political party that is hidden from Nigerians as the ruling APC are hell bent on dragging the country towards a one party line but this has failed.

1. Labour Party': The Labour Party's ideal of social democracy and the determined service to the masses make it a standout political platform, irrespective of the current challenges that might be confronting us, the party will certainly outlive any political party in this country. Ours is to be patient, tactical and be determined in making it work.

2. Coalition not Merger: The ongoing coalition in the country is a panacea that wrecked havock to the agenda behind making the country to forcefully toe a line of one party system. The coalition is a testament and resolved that Nigerians will never be stranded in the face of all shorts of distablisation of opposition political parties and grand Manipulations as we have been witnessing since 2023 general elections.

3. Supreme Court and INEC: the Supreme Court of Nigeria had in it's land mark judgement cleared all the debris of the leadership tussle placed before the party. However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a willing tool of illegality and as an umpire if the ruling political oligarchy against the Nigerian people has been aiding, abetting and promoting such illegality not only against the Labour Party but against the constitution, Nigerian State as well as against the Democratic principles and ethics. We believed and affirmed today that forces of darkness shall failed and disappear as we entered the dawn of a new day.

4. APC and the will of the people: The ruling All Progressive Party (APC,) at the center since it's enthronement in 2015 till date has demonstrated itself as a chronic anti-people in policies and programs. The APC leadership has only succeeded in making the lives of the majority miserable and brutished . The Pro Terrorists and Bandits led government only continue to aggressively impoverishing the masses the more. This is a true assessment of the country's leadership. Therefore, we can't but set out with a renewed strength and determination in building an enduring platform that must outlast the present challenges beyond the 2027 general elections 

5. Mobilisation and membership revalidation: As we set out officially today, our primary agenda inline with national Body of our party under Distinguished leadership of Senator Nenadi Esther Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha is to embark on mobilisation into our party of fresh members as well as the revalidation of the existing membership. This we must do with a renewed commitments and seals.

6. Finally, the principles of accountability, honestly and open arms and integrity shall be the guards that will guide this leadership in Oyo State.

7. Thank you all.

Labour party!!!

Forward ever!!!

Sir Dele Abiola 

Interim Chairman
