In a statement released on Sunday, the Forum expressed serious concerns regarding Abure’s leadership tenure, which they claim expired on June 8, 2024.
“Mr. Kennedy Ahanotu, the Deputy National Secretary of the Labour Party, is hereby cautioned to stop presenting himself as the National Youth Leader of the party, or he will face the consequences,” stated Comrade Eragbe Anselm Aphimia, the Forum’s spokesman.
The statement further clarified, “Similarly, Mr. Julius Abure is also warned to cease presenting himself as the National Chairman of the Labour Party for the reasons listed.”
