The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) has stated that the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi and Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, are the losers in the leadership crisis in the party.
The factional National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, stated this on Saturday while reacting to a court ruling on Saturday’s by-elections.
The faction expressed surprise at Interim National Chairman Nenadi Usman and her camp jubilating that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has withdrawn recognition from Julius Abure following a Federal High Court decision on August 15, 2025.
Ifoh argued that Usman and her cohorts were manipulating the opposition. He wondered if they were celebrating because they wanted the LP to die.
“Are they not playing into the hands of the opposition? Who benefits from all of this saga? Who is the loser? Are Peter Obi and Dr. Alex Otti not actually the losers in all of these? Are they celebrating because they want the party to die?
“A party that gave them hope when they didn’t have any hope, a party that gave them the platform when they were frustrated by other political parties.
“It is therefore infantile for Nenadi to be circulating the same counter-affidavit as if it were a new document. Their celebration, to us, amounts to nothing,” the statement said.
