LP crisis: Nenadi Usman dares Abure over threat

LP crisis: Nenadi Usman dares Abure over threat

Chairperson of the Labour Party (LP) caretaker committee, Nenadi Usman, has dared Julius Abure to follow through on his threat to expose Peter Obi, Alex Otti and other key members aligned with her faction of the party.

Speaking during an appearance on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Friday, Usman dismissed Abure’s threats as bluster, challenging him to bring forward any evidence he claims to have.

Earlier in the week, Abure, the factional national chairman of the Labour Party, had accused Obi, Otti and others of hypocrisy over 2023 election funding, threatening to reveal damaging information.

“I am waiting for them—from top to bottom—to make any other move and I will open my mouth,” he said.

“And when I open my mouth, wherever they go, they will be like smelly eggs, rotten eggs that nobody will ever buy.”

In response, Usman said the Labour Party has documented evidence of Abure’s misconduct, some of which is already under police investigation.

“Well, I am challenging him to expose us. If you have anybody to expose, you don’t go and talk now, you go and expose them,” she said.

Usman added, “We have a lot of things about him and that is why the people whom he did it to went to the police. The police are investigating him and very soon you will hear about it.”

A Party in Crisis

Usman described the current turmoil in the Labour Party as an assault on internal democracy, warning against the erosion of opposition values.

“Generally, you would agree with me that every democracy needs to have a vibrant opposition,” she said.

“So when the opposition wants to become part of the ruling party, then there’s a problem. And that is where we are today.”
