Chieftain of Labour Party, LP, in Imo State,Hon. Stephen Aneme the has called on the party members who are yet to embrace the new national leadership of the party led by Senator Esther Nenadi Usman to do so for peace and progress of the party.
He made the call while talking about what he described as unbecoming attitude of the immediate past national chairman of the party Julius Abure and his Imo State counterpart Callistus Ihejiagwa who are yet to recognize the national caretaker committee to do so for the betterment of the party.
“The uncertainty trailing our Party, LP again, is worrisome. If anybody thinks that keeping quiet and allow political gladiators bring down Labour Party, especially in Imo State, to further achieve their selfish aims again, that person should start thinking twice.
“Following the publication made on September 13. 2024, in the Newspoint Newspaper, in which one of the Labour Party Chieftain, Hon. Stephen Aneme Congratulated the Senator Esther Nenadi Usman led National Caretaker Committee of the party, believing that the healthy development at Umuahia, in the best interest of the party, has brought to an end, all agitations for supremacy by different interest groups” he said.
The party chieftain frowned at what he termed as ugly and unwanted development orchestrated by some people who are yet to come to term with the new development by way of trying to create another faction in the party structure, both at the National and the State levels,
Aneme called on the Abure/ Apapa Led factions and their Imo State counterpart to fellow the steps taken by other members by putting to rest their agitations and join hands with the present caretaker committee of Senator Usman to move the party forward.
” Let them follow the step taken by Mrs. Maria Lebeke and Comrade Abdulwahed Omars in the spirit of oneness, to reposition the party, for the challenges and victory ahead.
He remarked that “any house that is divided against itself, can never hold” maintaining that the party cannot afford to undergo its past experienced as observed in the last dispensation.
” This time around, we must strive to come together in one accord, as no one is indispensable or an island. Together we can and together we shall achieve our goals.
Labour Party is a public entity, owned by the generality of Nigerians who believed in a Labourer deserving his or her wages and not what we keep witnessing with other political parties” he further said.
Aneme used the occasion to urge the new national leadership no to allow the party to experience what he described as ugly managerial scenario it encountered in the past which caused the party its fortune.
“Let them uphold to our slogan, Labour party: Forward Ever, Backwards Never”
