Amidst the opposition of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Julius Abure has been re-elected as the National Chairman of Labour Party for a second term.
He was re-elected by a unanimous affirmation of party delegates.
The Chairman of the National Convention and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Mr. Ikechukwu Emetu, declared him the winner during the party’s national convention that was held on Wednesday in Nnewi, Anambra State.
It was recalled that Abure has been having a running battle with the NLC leadership led by Joe Ajaero.
Earlier, the Jeo-Ajaero led NLC called for Abure’s resignation as party chairman and the immediate constitution of a caretaker transition committee to organise a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention for the party.
