Labour Party Accuses Abia Governor Alex Otti of Anti-Party Activities, Sets Up Disciplinary Panel | #NwokeukwuMascot


The crisis rocking the Labour Party (LP) took a fresh twist on Thursday, May 2, 2025, as the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Julius Abure-led faction accused Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, of engaging in anti-party activities and constituted a disciplinary panel to probe his conduct.



At the NEC meeting held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, the leadership reviewed what it described as “anti-party actions” by Governor Otti and other unnamed members, prompting the immediate formation of a disciplinary committee. The panel, which was given a two-week deadline to conclude its investigations and report back to the NEC, is chaired by Dr. Ayo Olorunfemi, with Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim as Secretary. Other members include Barr. Kehinde Edun, Mrs. Dudu Manuga, and Barr. Callistus Ihejiagwa.



The decisions were contained in an official communiquƩ jointly signed by the factional National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, and National Secretary, Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim.



The Abure-led NEC also reiterated that the Labour Party would not be part of any coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, declaring instead that the party is committed to “rebuilding, repositioning, re-strategizing, reconciling, and strengthening” its internal structures to achieve electoral victory.



Furthermore, the council confirmed that it had issued a notice of the 2024 National Convention to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on December 4, 2023. It also ratified subsequent changes to the date and venue, culminating in the convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State, on March 27, 2024.



Highlighting the legality of the convention, the NEC stated that it was conducted in line with the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Electoral Act 2022, the Labour Party Constitution (2019), INEC’s guidelines, and the party’s own convention framework.



The NEC reaffirmed the legitimacy of the convention’s outcomes, declaring its full support and confidence in the newly elected National Working Committee (NWC), led by Barr. Abure, and expressing optimism in the leadership’s capacity to unite and reposition the party.



The council also praised the recent Supreme Court ruling delivered on April 4, 2025, which upheld the principle of party supremacy and affirmed the binding nature of decisions taken by duly recognized party organs.



In a reconciliatory tone, the Abure-led NEC extended an olive branch to aggrieved members, urging them to sheath their swords in the interest of the party and the nation.



This development comes amid intensifying internal divisions within the Labour Party, which is currently split between two factions—one aligned with the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the other led by Julius Abure, who maintains control of the party’s formal structures.
