The Labour Party National Caretaker Committee (LP-NCC), headed by Senator Nenadi Usman, has declared the six-month suspension of former National Chairman Barr. Julius Abure and former Secretary Alhaji Farouk Umar.

The announcement was made in a statement jointly signed by Usman and LP-NCC Secretary, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, in Abuja on Thursday evening.

According to the party, the suspension followed findings from a six-member Disciplinary Committee, led by Senator Ireti Kingibe, which was inaugurated on Wednesday.

The statement read, “Following an in-depth investigation by a committee led by Senator Ireti Kingibe and High Chief Peter Ameh, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party has ratified the committee’s recommendations concerning the anti-party activities and gross misappropriation of party funds by the former acting National Chairman, Barr. Julius Abure, and others. The investigative report revealed significant financial misconduct and prompted the following disciplinary actions:

“Barr. Julius Abure has been suspended for an initial period of six months and is prohibited from presenting himself as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.

“Mr Umar Farouk, the former National Secretary, was identified as a co-signer in most of the fraudulent bank withdrawals and transfers alongside Abure. Consequently, he has also been suspended for an initial six-month period, pending further investigation.

“All members of Abure’s National Working Committee (NWC) are directed to cease acting as representatives of the Labour Party’s NWC.

“The NEC emphasises that failure to adhere to these disciplinary measures will result in more severe consequences.

“The Labour Party remains committed to upholding transparency, accountability, and discipline within its ranks.”

It should be recalled that Abure’s faction had earlier announced the suspension of Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Senator Ireti Kingibe, and four others for alleged anti-party activities.

In response, the Usman-led LP-NCC said Abure and his former executive committee lack the authority to take such actions, especially after the Supreme Court ruling ended his tenure.
