The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has rejected the reconciliation move made by the governor of Abia <\/a>State, Alex <\/a>Otti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Describing Otti\u2019s call for reconciliation as dishonest and ill-fated, the LP National Working Committee led by Abure said the crisis rocking the party remains unresolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recall that Otti had called on the Abure-led team to sheathe their swords and work together towards strengthening the party alongside the committee led by Nenadi Usman.<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor had said, \u201cWe have agreed that there is a need to establish a reconciliation committee. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe interim National Working Committee will advise on the appropriate time to set it up. The goal is to reconcile all members who are willing to return,\u201d Otti stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

This call by Otti followed the delisting of Abure\u2019s team from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal after a court\u2019s order which named Usman as the authentic leader of the Labour Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in its reaction, the Abure-led faction accused the Abia <\/a>governor of playing a major role in triggering the crisis within the party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on the matter, Obiora Ifoh, the spokesperson for the party said, \u201cWe are not interested in any reconciliation move being proposed by Governor Alex <\/a>Otti because he is largely responsible for the crisis facing the party today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we witnessed was a decision of a court of first instance. Why can\u2019t he wait for the outcome of the appeal before talking about reconciliation?\u201d Ifoh queried.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also accused the governor of being in a rush, especially \u201cwhen the battle is far from over\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
