What is latest about Labour Party crisis

This is amid controversies that trailed Julius Abure’s re-election as the Labour Party’s national chairman.

Abure has severally been accused of corruption and abuse of office by prominent members of the party. Still, Obi, the national leader of the party, appeared to be in support of Abure.

Aside from Obi keeping mute on the allegations levelled against Abure, the convention that produced the controversial Labour Party chairman was conducted in Anambra, Peter Obi’s state.

Why Onuorah dump Labour Party for APC

Barely 24 hours after the re-election of Abuja as Labour Party national chairman, Onuorah took to his Twitter page to announce his plan to join the APC.

His tweet reads:

“Next time I arrive in Nigeria – I will proceed to register in my ward and become a card-carrying member of the @OfficialAPCNg.

“We have to make this impact from the inside.

“It was a great ride with the Obidient movement. It was a pleasure while it lasted.”
