(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, has stated that the federal lawmakers have not sent a dime to the party since the 2023 elections.
Abure stated this on Friday in a town hall meeting organised by the Lagos chapter of the party.
He also cautioned against the creation of parallel structures by some party leaders.
According to him, the LP has a single structure and it is very difficult for a party that has conflicting structures to thrive.
“It is a fact that they don’t respect the party, it is a fact that they don’t make contributions to the party,” Abure was quoted in a statement released by Obiora Ifoh, LP spokesperson.
“As I speak with you today, we have not received one kobo at the national level, from those we elected to the national assembly.
“The responsibility of running this party is still with the leadership of the party. As of today, we have 6 senators, about 30 reps members and numerous house of assembly members.
“But it will shock you to know that none of these lawmakers have contributed a dime to the party since their election in 2023.
“Let them go and ask other parties, it is those elected under their platform that fund the party.
“Today, most of them want to have control over their local government and for us to hand over their constituencies to them, yet they are not ready to work or partner with the party. Is it fair?”
The national chairman further tasked members of the ‘Obidient’ movement to register with the party.
