LABOUR PARTY SUSPENDS NATIONAL TREASURER

The Labour Party has suspended its National Treasurer, Oluchi Opara, for six months.

The party’s spokesman, Obiora Ifoh, announced this at a conference at the LP national headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to him, the suspension is with immediate effect. Ifoh said contrary to allegations of abuse levelled against the leadership of the party by Opara, the party only realised N1.2 billion from donation from members and sales of forms to some aspirants in the 2023 polls.

Ifoh alleged that Opara was being sponsored by the same people who used Lamidi Apapa, Anslem Eragbe, and Yomi Arabambi to derail the party.

The party spokesman said the Labour Party is stronger and that all attacks on its National Chairman, Julius Abure, will continue to fail.
