The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Comrade Julius Abure, has dismissed claims of a leadership vacuum in the party, declaring that any such suggestion is invalid and without legal basis.
Addressing party members during the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Monday, April 7, at the party’s national secretariat in Utako, Abuja, Abure maintained that the current leadership remains legitimate and intact.
“There is no vacuum in the leadership of the Labour Party. The Supreme Court judgement did not say the tenure of the current NWC under my leadership has expired,” he said.

He further criticised the formation of a new committee, describing it as unlawful.
“The so-called National Caretaker Committee is an illegal body unknown to any law guiding the Labour Party.
“What happened in Umuahia, Abia State, was not a NEC meeting; as such, the so-called caretaker committee is an illegal entity.
“The purported caretaker committee is just a meddlesome interloper whose sole purpose is to destroy our party,” Abure said.
