The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party has debunked the allegation that the Julius Abure-led NWC was wrongly elected at the Nnewi Convention as the process was short of constitutional procedure.
A statement signed by the convener of the Nnewi convention, Blessings Elaigwu, urged the public to disregard any allegation that the party convened the convention wrongly convened.
It would be recalled that the Labour Party National Transition Committee (LP-NTC) had condemned the Nnewi convention, with the claim that Julius Abure lacked the locus to organize further congress or convention since his tenure as National Chairman had expired.
According to Blessing, the convention was properly monitored and adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission and could not be questioned by any misinformed individuals.

The statement read in part: “We, the members and supporters of the Labour Party, wish to counter the misleading press statement circulated by some individuals aimed at discrediting our esteemed leader, Barrister Julius Abure.
“The congresses organized by Barrister Abure are legitimate and in line with the party’s constitution and electoral laws. The Nnewi convention of March 27, 2024, was a successful and peaceful gathering of the party faithful, which reaffirmed Barrister Abure’s leadership and vision for the party.
“We urge all members to disregard the baseless claims and misinformation spread by those seeking to disrupt our progress. The party’s constitution and electoral laws have validated Barrister Abure’s leadership.
“INEC and other stakeholders are working with the Abure-led NWC to build a stronger and more united Labour Party. Please note that there is no national transition committee within the Labour Party currently that is recognized by the Labour Party and INEC. Let us peacefully go about our businesses as we approach state, local government and ward congresses.
“Let us stand together against misinformation and unite behind our leader, Barrister Julius Abure,” the party said.
