Factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has warned the National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Seriake Dickson, against his alliance with Peter Obi and his supporters.
Abure gave the warning in a statement he personally signed on Monday, saying that Dickson appeared to have learnt from the recent crisis in the Labour.
NewsBits reports that Obi is the flag bearer and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in the forthcoming 2027 general elections. He described the NDC leader’s alleged refusal to concede all elective positions in the party to Obi’s supporters as commendable.
According to him, Obi and Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, as well as many of their supporters who won elections on the platform of the Labour Party in 2023, have since turned against the party’s leadership.
“They say, history usually repeats itself. Senator Dickson and Co have seen their trajectory and learnt from what happened to us, that a lot of them, after they have won and now in government, turned round and were struggling with the leadership of the party.
“I want to say that Obi and his followers are ingrates who will never remember the sacrifices you made for them. Beware of them and learn from the Labour Party crisis. It is even dangerous for the leadership of the NDC to wholly hand over the elective positions to Obi and his followers,” Abure said.
