2027: Why Abure Revoked Automatic Tickets For Peter Obi, Alex Otti (Video)

The factional chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure has explained why his faction of the party reversed itself on an automatic ticket for Mr Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election.

Abure, also in the same vein, said that the automatic ticket promised Governor Alex Otti, the party’s only governor has also been revoked.

He cited constitutional provisions which stipulate that positions in the party should be open to all Nigerians.

GWG.ng reports that Abure stated this on Monday during a press conference held by the Abure-led NEC.

The move came after Alex Otti and Peter Obi organized a party stakeholders meeting in Abia last week calling for a new convention to elect new party leaders. The move was on the claim that Abure’s tenure has expired and his NEC was not recognized by INEC.

Abure described the meeting led by Otti and Obi at Abia state as a “betrayal” and “divisionary,” aimed at installing “new leadership” without the National Executive Council’s authority or consent.

GWG.ng earlier reported that the meeting led by Otti and Obi in Abia state on Wednesday produced Senator Esther Nenadi Usman as the new Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Labour Party.

At the Abure-led NEC meeting on Monday, the committee changed its previous stance regarding the automatic tickets for Peter Obi and Alex Otti for the 2027 elections.

The NEC has now announced that these nominations will be open to all candidates.
