The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has begun its congresses across the states of the Federation with the exception of Abia State.
This is contained in a statement by the factional National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, on Tuesday.
The statement said the ward Congress holds on Tuesday December 2, while the Local Government Congress will hold Thursday December 4.
According to the statement, the State Congress is expected to be held on Saturday December 6 at the party headquarters across the states.
Ifoh stated that the Abia State Congress was put on hold after a State High Court in Abia restrained the party from going ahead with the Congress in the state pending the determination of charges filed against the state leadership of the party.
“Though the party resolved to comply with the order, even though the court lacks the jurisdiction however, the party’s legal department has already taken steps to vacate the order. This will enable Abia state hold its own Congress at a later date.
“The supervision teams sent by the national leadership to some of the venues have returned positive reports on the progress of the congresses nationwide.
“Labour Party is therefore calling on Nigerians to embrace the party ahead of the 2027 general election. We are repositioning to improve on our capacity to drive the leadership of this great nation soonest,” the statement said.
