Dr. Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, has given his assessment of the Labour Party.
The former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, gave his verdict while reacting to the suspension of the party’s national treasurer, Oluchi Opara.
On Wednesday, February 14, the Labour Party through its National Working Committee (NWC), suspended Opara barely 48 hours after she accused the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, of misappropriating N3.5 billion campaign funds.
Opara said the N3.5 billion was raised from sales of forms and fundraising activities in the build up to the 2023 general elections.
Reacting to the allegation, the party’s national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, announced that Opara has been suspended for 6 months.
Ifoh stated that Opara is under some external influences and only read a press statement written by “our detractors to further tar the image of the party”.
Reacting to the development in a post on his official X account, Amadi said the party lacked leadership.
