LP Lawmakers Stopped Funding Party After 2023 Elections Says Julius Abure

LP lawmakers stopped funding party after 2023 elections saus Julius Abure. Mr Abure faulted floating of parallel structures by some party leaders

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has urged members of the “Obidient’’ family to register with the party and participate in the party’s  national congress slated for June.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, made this known on Friday in a statement in Abuja.
Mr Ifoh said that Mr Abure made the call while speaking at a town hall meeting organised by the Lagos State chapter of the party.

According to him, ”Obidient” family members should work towards owning the party by registering with the party and be qualified for the coming congresses in June and July 2025.

He stated, “We are willing and ready to absorb all the Obidients into the Labour Party. All you need to do is to go to your ward as ”Obidient” and register. The party has only one structure, all other ones are counterfeit.

Mr Abure faulted floating of parallel structures by some party leaders, warning that such anti- party activities must surely attract grave consequences.

The national chairman also stated that elected members of the Labour Party have not lived up to their financial obligations to the party since assumption of office nearly two years ago.

He said, “A party cannot have two conflicting structures, a party can only have one structure and I advise, if you do not want to be left out of the scheme of things, find your way into the main structure. Those who are doing parallel structure, candidate structure will lose out at the end of the day.”

The national chairman speaking on the relationship between elected members and the party, said that it was a fact that they didn’t respect the party.

He said, “It is a fact that they don’t make contributions to the party. As I speak with you today, we have not received one kobo at the national, from those we elected to the national Assembly.

The responsibility for running this party is still with the leadership of the party. As of today, we have six senators, about 30 rep members and numerous House of Assembly members.

Unfortunately none of these lawmakers has contributed a dime to the party since their election in 2023. Let them go and ask other parties, it is those elected under their platform that fund the party.

Today, most of them want to have control over their local government and for us to hand over their constituencies to them, yet they are not ready to work or partner with the party. Is it fair?.”
Mr Abure also promised to look into the grievances within the Lagos State party faithful.

He added, “I want to appeal to our members in Lagos State who may have one grievance or the other, arising from the imperfection witnessed in 2023 general elections to keep their grievances aside. We cannot continue to dwell in the past.

Those who did not get the party ticket in the 2023 general elections may have the opportunity to do so in 2027. Some of you who have special cases, I plead with you to come and present the matter to the leadership of the party, instead of fighting ourselves in the social media. As long as I am the national chairman, those with genuine cases will be given special attention in the 2027 general elections.’’

The town hall meeting witnessed defection of top political personalities in the state into the Labour Party.

In attendance were stakeholders including national and state lawmakers, ward, local government and state executives, some members of the National Working Committee and governorship candidate in the 2023 governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

ADC Is Nigeria’s Only Reliable Political Party, Others Brought Insecurity, Hunger, Says Atiku

ADC is Nigeria’s only reliable political party, others brought insecurity, hunger, says Atiku. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubukar says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only reliable political party in the country, noting that others have brought insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment.
Speaking in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, during the official opening of the ADC state secretariat, Abubakar said the party is ready for a 2027 victory but urged Nigerians to unite to rescue the nation.

He also asked Taraba residents to take part in the ongoing continuous voter registration exercise, adding that their participation is crucial to reversing Nigeria’s worsening hardship.
“I am in Taraba to inaugurate our new party office of the ADC, and I want you to hold the party with integrity,” Channels Television quoted Atiku as saying.

“Do not allow anybody to deceive you with any other party, because we have tasted other political parties, and they brought nothing but insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment. “The youths and women should know that we are doing this for them to have a better future, and I am holding on to their promise. “ADC will win Taraba state and win Nigeria as the only reliable political party.”

Abubakar, who formally joined the ADC on Monday—17 months before the 2027 general election—said his experience across political platforms convinced him that the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties lack the capacity to rescue the country.

He resigned from the PDP on July 16, citing “irreconcilable differences” within the opposition party as his reason for leaving.

Akwa Ibom Governor Pledges Commitment To Tourism, Blue Economy Development

Akwa Ibom governor pledges commitment to tourism, blue economy development… commends Editi Effiong for projecting State’s tourism potentials

As part of his effort to encourage tourism and enhance the State’s blue economy, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to encourage and reward young professionals who are willing to collaborate with his administration in promoting the positive image of the State through the ARISE Agenda.

The Governor made this known while fielding questions from Government House correspondents shortly after embarking on inspection of a locale of a movie, “The Black Book 2” (Old Scores), at Ishiet Beach/Market in Uruan Local Government Area.

He commended the movie Producer and Director, Mr. Editi Effiong, for his talent, vision, inspiration, and creative ability to project the tourism potentials and boost the economy of the State.

Governor Eno charged young Akwa Ibomites to shun divisive tendencies, be inspired, and emulate the creative effort of successful Akwa Ibom sons and daughters by joining hands to develop the tourism and blue economy of the State.

“The impression is amazing, seeing that we have one of our own trying to pull the world down here.

“I would love to thank and encourage him, and to let our young people see that Akwa Ibom has what it takes to drag the world’s attention.

“It depends on what you see. Someone can see this place and write one story about a swamp that has been abandoned and make all the noise. Another person sees this place and makes a great movie out of it that will market this place to the world and is able to attract the attention because of the work he has done here,” he said.

The State Chief Executive pledged his encouragement, support, and collaboration with Editi and other young Akwa Ibomites to enable them rise to the zenith of their calling.

“We are going to work with him. Editi is a young man I have known very well. This is one thing I say to our people in the diaspora, let’s partner. Come back home, whatever you see out there, bring it back here, and let’s work together.

“I think that is the story, and I am really impressed. If you know the number of people that have visited this State in the course of this film, the talents, and the caliber of artists that have been here, then this young man deserves an award and our support,” he added.
