Marcel Ngogbehei, Director General of the Labour Party’s Directorate of Mobilisation, has accused the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) of spreading misinformation by claiming that National Chairman Julius Abure illegally occupies his position following a Supreme Court ruling.
In a statement issued on April 13, Ngogbehei called HURIWA’s assertions “poorly informed” and “legally misguided”, insisting, “The referenced Supreme Court judgement did not in any way challenge or override” Abure’s leadership.

Ngogbehei clarified that Abure was elected at the party’s National Convention on March 27, 2024, in line with the Labour Party’s constitution and the Electoral Act, and that the election remains valid.
He urged HURIWA to seek legal counsel to avoid fuelling tensions, reaffirming the party’s commitment to internal democracy and unity.
“It is disappointing that an organisation advocating for the rule of law would issue such a misguided position,” he said.
