Why Abure remains our Chairman – LP National youth Leader, Kennedy knocks Lamidi

The National Youth Leader of the Labour Party, Kennedy Ahanotu has said embattled Julius Abure remains the National Chairman of the party, despite the current leadership crisis.

The youth leader who spoke with Channels Television on Friday distanced himself from the National Working Committee’s emergency meeting that produced Lamidi Apapa as acting chairman.

He described the process of removing Abure as unlawful, stressing that illegality cannot be used to correct another illegality.

The NWC emergency meeting was done secretly with the intention to hijack the collective interest of Nigerians, Ahanotu claimed.

“You can’t use illegality to correct another illegality. If there is supposed to be a meeting of the National Working Committee, is there not supposed to be notice?

“We have a WhatsApp platform where we share information, there was no notice that there was going to be an NWC meeting. I was totally not aware.

“It was a deliberate attempt to hijack the collective interest of Nigerians. I have never seen such separation in my life.

“As far as I know, Abure remains the National Chairman of the Labour Party. Even if there is any case against him, this is not the process to remove him”.
