Julius Abure has secured a second term as the National Chairman of the Labour Party following a unanimous affirmation by delegates at the party’s national convention.
Abure’s victory, announced by the Chairman of the National Convention and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Ikechukwu Emetu, came amidst opposition from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
The national convention, which took place on Wednesday in Nnewi, Anambra State, saw Abure retaining his position despite the ongoing discord with the leadership of the NLC, led by Joe Ajaero.
Abure’s re-election underscores his continued leadership and support within the Labour Party, despite the challenges faced with external opposition. It signifies a vote of confidence from party delegates in his ability to lead the party effectively for another term.
As Abure begins his second term, all eyes will be on the Labour Party to observe how his leadership navigates the political landscape and addresses any internal or external challenges that may arise.
