LP: Gov Otti Advises Abure Faction To Turn a New Leaf, Obey Court Judgement
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has told the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party, LP, to turn a new leaf, sheathe their sword and respect the judgement of the Federal High Court recognizing the Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party.
Otti, who was reacting to the judgement of the Federal High Court, promised to forgive and reintegrate the Abure faction if they ‘turn a new leaf and become law-abiding.”
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, Otti described the judgement as sound, and thanked those he described as lovers of democracy for standing with LP during the troubling times.
The Governor called on those responsible for all the frivolous litigations against the party to sheathe their sword and respect the judgement, which he said is in tandem with the earlier judgement of the Supreme Court.
Otti charged the national leadership of the Labour Party to see the court victory as an opportunity to rejig the party by ensuring that peace, unity and justice reigned, in line with the party’s constitution and ideals.
