Peter Obi in fresh trouble as Labour Party National Chairman, Abure threatens to expose him

 

Julius Abure, a Labour Party National Chairman, has threatened to expose the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi and other former aspirants.

 

Abure in a video broadcast by Symfoni on Tuesday, addressed party members in the Federal Capital Territory and responded to ongoing corruption allegations within the party’s leadership, where he demanded those behind the allegations to provide evidence of any money allegedly given to him or the party during the last general elections.

Abure further denied receiving any funds for personal use from any of the party’s candidates, including Obi.

 

“I want to challenge all of them—from Peter Obi down that contested the election. Let any of them come out and tell the world what they personally gave to me or to the party,” Abure declared.

 

 

“If they have evidence, let them present it. If they don’t, let them forever hold their peace.”

 

He criticized what he described as “cowardly whispers” of corruption and accused detractors of hiding behind the media rather than confronting the party leadership directly.

 

The party chairman who hinted at holding a world press conference, promised to publicly expose individuals within the party’s opposing faction, adding that his silence was out of a sense of leadership and the hope for reconciliation, but warned that continued provocation would force him to speak out.

 

“When people were talking about agents and money for agents, I kept quiet. I believe that the good, the bad, and the ugly are mine to manage. But now, some are going beyond their boundaries,” he said.

 

 

“I am waiting for them to make the next move. And when I open my mouth, wherever they go, they will smell like rotten eggs that no one will buy.”

 

Abure also took a swipe at Abia State Governor Alex Otti—the Labour Party’s only elected governor—accusing him of failing to contribute financially to the party during the elections.

 

“Look at the governor that is jumping like a cricket from one point to another. We didn’t collect a dime from him,” he said.

 

“When I met him at Transcorp, he asked me, ‘Chairman, what do I do for you?’ I said, ‘Nothing. Use your money for your election.’”
