This comes almost two months before the general elections in 2023.

The decision was made by the party’s National Working Committee in response to their alleged role in the expulsion of Doyin Okupe, the Director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council.

On Friday, Umar Farouk, the National Secretary of the Labour Party, announced the dissolution of its state chapter in Ogun, the removal of the party’s spokesman, and the removal of its chairman and other executives at an emergency meeting of the NWC in Abuja.

The committee is said to have passed a vote of confidence in the leadership of its embattled National Chairman, Julius Abure, saying it has reviewed the corruption allegations levelled against him and found him not culpable.

Okupe and 10 members of the party were removed by the leadership of the Ogun State chapter of LP over alleged “non-financial membership status, political rascality and misappropriation of funds.”
