Labour Party state chairmen say rumours of crisis handiwork of enemies trying to destroy party

Chairmen of Labour Party in the 36 states of the federation have knocked down rumours of crisis rocking the party both at national and state levels, which they say is the handiwork of enemies and fourth columnists trying to tear the party apart.

The forum made up of 36 state chairmen of the party, at an emergency meeting in Benin, Edo State on Friday, said the rumoured crisis “is nothing but an attempt to truncate multi party democracy in Nigeria.”

The chairmen who passed a vote of confidence on the embattled national chairman of the party, Barr. Julius Abure’s leadership, stressed that they had resolved to support him.
