…Says, nonmembers of the party have no jurisdiction to meet, suspend any official of the party – Ogbaloi
By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City
The leadership of Edo State chapter of Labour Party (LP) has passed Vote of Confidence on Barr. Julius Abure led National Working Committee (NWC).
The Vote of Confidence arisen from an alleged suspension of Labour Party National Chairman, Barr. Julius Abure.
Speaking at a press conference in Benin City, the State Chairman of the party, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi said, the reason of the press briefing is to debunk some persons who are faceless, who are no members or card carrying members of the party, who does not belong to any local government council known to the state leadership of the party.
According to Ogbaloi, they are also not from any ward in Edo State and therefore has no right in law to meet and suspend any official of the party not to talk of National Chairman.
He then called on general public and members of the party, both at the national and state levels to disregard any self-acclaimed members over the purported suspension of the National Chairman of the party, Barr. Julius Abure.
“We are in receipt of a document purported uttered by some persons, who are of phantom, some persons who are no members of Labour Party, who have signed a document purported to have suspended the National Chairman, Barr. Julius Abure. These one are not known to our party, and if one also critically looked at the document they signed, we do not see where their local government exist, there no where they are talking to a rear location, are therefore we are calling on the general public, that Labour Party National Chairman, Barr. Julius Abure is not suspended, he remain the substantive National Chairman of Labour Party, and by this means we have pass a VOTE OF CONFIDENCE on him for all the good job he has be doing.
“This meeting which was claimed to have been held in Abuja with a few collection of boys who are un-known to labour party both at the national and state levels, should be disregarded.
“They hold no membership cards of labour party, they are stack faceless persons who are selfishly disgruntled with no fact contained in what the alleged.
“The document as it appeared is not the product of the Edo State Chapter of Labour Party and the signatories are blatantly alien as well as the names. It is even more so when it can clearly be understood that the constitutional competence to do as in their letters, is nonexistent. They belong to no state, local government and wards, as seen,” Ogbaloi said.
