The leadership of the Labour Party, LP, Edo State Chapter has described the publications and allegations made against the National Chairman of the party, Barr. Julius Abure and the Edo State Chairman, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi by one Apostle Jegede Idemudia as malicious and baseless, as he has no justification to speak on issue relating to the party, simply because he is not a member of Labour Party.
This is contained in a press statement signed by the Publicity Secretary and Image Maker of the party, Comrade Sam Oroupa in reaction to the statement credited to one Apostle Jegede Idemudia, titled: Labour Party Patriots and Nigerians Beware of Julius and Kelly Ogbaloi and made available to the Groove Watch News in Benin City.
Uroupa described Idemudia as an Apostle of doom, as he usually claimed to be an Apostle of God which he is not. He further alleged and described him as a serial liar, betrayer and an impostor who usually disguised in all manner to defraud members of unsuspecting public. He is a wolf in sheep clothing using the name of God to commit all manner of atrocities on pulpit and called on the general public to beware of him as he has never been a member of Labour Party
Uroupa said in order to set the records straight and for the public not to be deceived any longer by the fabricated report of that impostor, Idemudia, was the reason he came out with the press statement.
"There is no faction in Labour Party both National and at State levels, neither was there a time the leadership of the Party was suspended. Labour party is one indivisible political entity under the leadership of our distinguished Barr. Dr. Julius Abure, National chairman and Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi, IION (Integrity Icon of Nigeria), Edo State chairman.
"Jegede is not a member of the party at the ward and local government level. How will he now make himself a Publicity secretary of the party?
"Recently, Benin High Court came out with a judgement reaferming that Barr. Julius Abure's position as National Chairman of the Labour Party is still valid".
"I can vividly remember how Jegede came to labour party between June/ July, 2022 as a messenger to Hon. Murphy Imasuen to Labour Party office in Benin City. He later came begging for Uhunmwode House Assembly ticket and he was given a trial after granting him free waiver by the party and was given the ticket. He could not print a single campaign poster for himself, rather, in his dubious life style, he traded with the ticket for 15 million Naira and disappeared. Instead of covering his head in shame, he only came back and be making all sorts of allegations against the party leadership".
"As the Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Edo State, I want to say categorically clear that Apostle Jegede Idemudia is not a member of labour party and henceforth disregard whatever he is saying about the party or on behalf of the party.
Apostle Jegede is only basking in the euphoria of his ignorance hence he is relying on the purported Imo State judgment delivered in error.
"You will recalled the judgement from the Edo State High Court on the 26th May 2023,o where Justice Emmanuel Okey Aihamoje in Suit No: HUC/21/2023 said that the party in Uromi ward 3 lack the power under the labour party constitution, particularly Article 13 and the Electoral Act 2022 as amended to remove the national chairman of the party. The judge went ahead to imposed perpetual injunction against the tragic power seeker, Lamidi Apapa and his cohorts or faction from removing and suspending Barr. Julius Abure, as the national Chairman, until the national convention of the party is convened.
