The Nenadi Usman–led faction of the Labour Party has sharply rebuked Julius Abure for continuing to parade himself as the party’s National Chairman despite the Supreme Court judgment delivered on April 4, 2025.
In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, the faction’s Interim National Secretary, Darlington Nwokocha, called on the Prosecutor-General of the Federation to fast-track action on recommendations for Abure’s prosecution over alleged impersonation and other related offences.
The statement was a response to Abure’s earlier remarks in which he accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of misinterpreting its refusal to upload the details of Labour Party aspirants for the upcoming Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections, as well as the Supreme Court judgment.
Reacting, the Nenadi Usman faction insisted that the party’s leadership position is not open for commercialisation or political bargaining.
“The Labour Party is not for sale. Mr Abure and his associates should seek legitimate means of livelihood rather than attempting to commercialize political structures,” the statement read.
The faction also referenced INEC’s position, alleging that Abure and his allies have turned into serial litigants, filing multiple court cases against both the electoral body and the recognised Labour Party leadership.
According to the statement, Abure and his supporters have instituted more than 20 legal actions across different courts, particularly within the Federal Capital Territory, targeting INEC and the party leadership led by Senator Nenadi Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha.
The faction maintained that such actions were aimed at frustrating the party’s operations and misleading the public, stressing that the Labour Party remains focused on rebuilding and strengthening its internal democratic structures, according to PUO Reports.
