The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has called on members currently associating with other political parties to return to the fold, offering reconciliation and forgiveness to those willing to acknowledge their actions.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja following the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Monday, National Chairman Julius Abure said the Labour Party remains open to welcoming back estranged members who are willing to mend fences.
“We are using this opportunity to say that our doors are open. They should sheathe their swords and come back to the house,” Abure stated. “If they come back and apologise, we are ready to forgive them because we believe that there is no victor and there is no vanquished.”
While acknowledging that Nigerians have the constitutional right to associate with any political group, Abure stressed that both the Nigerian Constitution and the party’s internal regulations prohibit dual membership.
“The constitution of the party is very clear, and the constitution of Nigeria is equally clear, that you cannot belong to two political parties at the same time,” he said. “We are watching members romancing other parties, and at the appropriate time, the party organs will decide what will happen.”
The appeal is seen as a strategic move by the party leadership to strengthen internal unity and reassert its position ahead of the 2027 general elections.
