Labour Party crisis: Court to be questioned – Abure faction blasts judiciary
The Deputy National Youth Leader of the Abure faction of the Labour Party, Dr. Barry Johnson has criticized recent court decisions affecting the party, describing the judiciary as being in “disarray” and questioning the direction of Nigeria’s democracy.
Johnson made the remarks during an interview with Trust TV, where he responded to concerns about the Labour Party’s internal divisions following its historic performance in the 2023 general elections.
Johnson insisted that the Abure-led group remains the legitimate leadership of the party.
According to him, the faction he represents is recognized by the party’s constitution, the Electoral Act, and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He alleged that some court rulings relating to the party had undermined internal party structures.
“The court of this country should be questioned. Decisions of the court are wrong,” Johnson said, expressing concern about what he described as the implications of such judgments for Nigeria’s democratic future.
He further questioned whether the current political climate reflects the kind of democracy Nigerians intend to pass on to the next generation, warning against what he characterized as a system marked by “criminality” and undue judicial support.
The Presidency has lashed out at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi.
In a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described Obi as a copy-and-paste politician who cannot compete with Tinubu.
Onanuga claimed that Obi has nothing to showcase as Anambra governor for eight years.
He said, in contrast with Tinubu as Lagos State governor, he left a rail and road masterplan as governor, which is still being executed to this day.
“Peter Obi has never shown original, authentic thinking. He is a copy-and-paste politician. Willie Obiano, his successor, said Obi failed spectacularly in providing security in the state.
“Nigeria deserves a leader who can see beyond the ken of the ordinary people, a leader who is a proven deep thinker and doer.
“Peter Obi is no match for President Bola Tinubu. They are not on the same level,” he said.
