The Caretaker Committee Chairperson of a faction of the Labour Party (LP), Nenadi Usman, has dared the party’s embattled National Chairman, Julius Abure, to make good his threat to expose former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and other high-ranking members of her faction.
Abure had issued the threat on Monday, saying if he exposes what he knows concerning the party’s 2023 presidential campaign funds, the members of the faction opposed to him will be disliked by the public.
“I am waiting for them — from top to bottom — to make any other move and I will open my mouth,” he said.
“And when I open my mouth, wherever they go to, they will be like smelly eggs, rotten eggs that nobody will ever buy.”
Speaking on Channels Television today, Usman dared Abure to make good his threat.
“Well, I am challenging him to expose us. If you have anybody to expose, you don’t go and talk now, you go and expose them,” she said.
She revealed that Abure’s activities are currently being investigated by the police, adding,“We have a lot of things about him and that is why the people whom he did it to went to the police.”
“The police are investigating him and very soon you will hear about it.”
Speaking further, she said the current crisis in the LP as an attack on internal democracy.
“Generally, you would agree with me that every democracy needs to have a vibrant opposition,” she said.
“So when the opposition wants to become part of the ruling party, then there’s a problem. And that is where we are today.”
