Salisu Mohammad, Secretary of Board of Trustees, of the party, said this during a news conference organised by the leadership of the Labour Party National Transitional Committee (NTC) in Abuja. He said the decision was reached at the Umuahia stakeholder meeting by the Nenadi Usman-led Caretaker Committee which was lawful and legitimate.
Mohammed said the NTC engaged and mobilised all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the party recovered itself from what it described as Abure’s illegality and corruption.
He said Abure, since his assumption of office as national chairman following the sudden death of the party’s National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam in 2000, Abure had led the party without election.
