The recently circulated image of suspended former National Chairman Julius Abure with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has sparked long-standing questions about Abure’s loyalty, according to the Labour Party (LP) group led by Senator Nenadi Usman.
Ken Asogwa, the Acting National Chairman’s Senior Special Adviser (Media), stated in a forceful statement released in Abuja on Sunday that the picture was “proof” that Abure had sided with political forces that challenge the party’s principles and advancement.

The statement read, “While Mr. Peter Obi is diligently focused on addressing critical national issues, and Senator Nenadi Usman is attending high-level meetings abroad with his full consent—both working in the supreme interest of the Labour Party and the Nigerian people—Barr. Julius Abure, the suspended former national chairman, is busy hobnobbing with the very forces that are hell-bent on annihilating the party.”
Abure was charged by Asogwa with abandoning the party’s mission by mingling with political figures who are accountable for the “systemic collapse” that the Labour Party is trying to overcome.

“Instead of standing with the people, Abure is seen wining and dining with the sponsors of oppression, tyranny, and electoral malpractice,” he said. “His actions lend further credence to our long-held position: that Julius Abure is not just unfit for leadership, but a willing tool in the hands of external forces bent on destabilizing the Labour Party from within.”
Abure was also accused by the LP of leaving the party at crucial times, like as the Lagos local government elections and the Anambra, Kogi, and Edo States gubernatorial campaign launches.

Reiterating that Abure is still suspended, the faction maintained that he no longer has any official status inside the party.
“His dereliction of duty, compounded by his ongoing fraternization with political adversaries of the New Nigeria vision earned him suspension from the party. His constant romance with these outside forces raises a fundamental question: Whose agenda is Julius Abure truly serving?” Asogwa queried.
