National Chairman of Labour Party (LP), Mr Julius Abure’s suspension from the party was ratified by a late Friday night meeting of the State Executive Committee of the party held at the state Secretariat in Benin City.
The ratification of Abure’s suspension was sequel to the suspension of his membership of the party in Ward 3 in Arue-Uromi, in Esan North-East Local Government Area of Edo State for alleged high-handedness and anti-party activities.
A letter of suspension dated May 14, 2024, and another letter of ratification dated May 15, 2024, both of which were ratified at a meeting of the state executive committee on Friday night in Benin, stated that the suspension was with immediate effect.
The Edo LP executive also advised Abure “to restrain from holding out or parading himself as a member of Labour Party, Ward 3, Arue, Uromi in Ean North-East LGA, Edo State.”
The letter of suspension was signed by the Ward Chairman, Thompson Ehiguese, and Ward Secretary, Stanley Usiomoh.
The letter of ratification of his suspension was forwarded to the State Executive Committee of the party through the State Chairman, by the Local Government Chairman of the party in Esan North-East, Patrick Onogbeni, and LGA Secretary, Ehikioya Eromosele.
The letter ratification reads: “Here forwarded to you and for your consideration is the ratification of the suspension of Comrade Barrister Julius Abure from the membership of Ward 3, Arue, Uromi, Ean North East LGA, Edo State.
“The LGA Executive met on 15th of May, 2024 about noon, to consider the matters presented on the suspension and accordingly found them weighty and the suspension ratified and upheld.”
The State Executive Committee led by Kelly Ogbaloi, at its meeting which began at 8.45 pm on Friday, endorsed the decisions of the ward and local government committees of the party.
The venue of the meeting was charged as leaders and members of the party chanted: “Abure must go!”
The State Executive Committee considered the letters, together with the issues contained therein, and ratified Abure’s suspension.
