National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, has disassociated himself and the party from a statement purportedly issued by the National Publicity of the party, Arabambi Abayomi, in which he alleged that the party was not with Dr Doyin Okupe in the release of names of members of Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council.
Abure, in a statement urged members of the public and party faithful to disregard the statement by Abayomi.
The chairman said it did not emanate from the party.
Abure said: “My attention has been drawn to a short reaction by our National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Arabambi Abayomi while responding to a reporter’s enquiry via whatsapp wherein he said ‘We are not involved in Dr Okupe mischievous political shenanigans.’
“Kindly disregard the statement as it does not emanate from the leadership of the party.
“It is important to let our esteemed friends of the media to know that the leadership of the party fully endorsed the media outing of Peter Obi campaign council. The party was fully consulted and was fully represented by a good number of our National Working Committee led by the National Secretary.
“There is therefore no rift between the party and the presidential campaign council as it’s being speculated in some quarters. Kindly disregard such fake stories as it is an imagination of our political traducers.
“Both the party and the PCC are united in enthroning a leadership that will salvage the nation and restore the lost glory of our Fatherland.”
