The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has accused the deputy governor of Abia <\/a>State, Ikechukwu Emetu and Senator Nenadi Usman of breaking into the party\u2019s national secretariat.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Obiora Ifoh, the Abure-led LP said the duo led others who forcefully broke into the party\u2019s secretariat, carted away valuables, and barred staff from gaining access to the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Ifoh, the Labour Party condemns in strong terms the action of the duo who were aided by eight truckloads of police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the team refused entrance to officers and staff of the party while ensuring only the names of members of the Nenadi Interim leadership were given access to the Secretariat. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ifoh said, \u201cThe invasion according to security personnel at the Secretariat, was that hoodlums invaded the Secretariat around 1am early on Tuesday to pull down the party\u2019s billboards and replace them with those of the Nenadi Usman.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Also expressing concern over the allegation, Ifoh said Usman and Emeru ordered his hoodlums to break into all the offices, and carted files and other materials alongside. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen some of our senior officials came to office in the morning, we were prevented by the Police. We refused to confront them to avoid clashes and confrontations, choosing a peaceful approach. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is on record that a Federal High Court in FCT gave a judgment which recognised Senator Usman as the Interim Chairman of the Labour Party. However, the party leadership has obtained a Stay of Execution and has since appealed the judgement. It is therefore inappropriate and needless for any group to resort to self-help by illegally breaking into the National Secretariat,\u201d Ifoh added.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further called on the Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, office of the National Security Adviser and other relevant agencies to take note of the unlawful invasion of our party\u2019s Secretariat. <\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that should this anomaly remain unchecked, it is a pointer that our democracy and its institutions are being threatened. <\/span><\/p>\n

He also called on members and leaders of the party to remain vigilant as the party leadership is doing everything within the law to ensure that justice is not denied the party. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
