Julius Abure, National Chairman of the Labour Party, is leading a team to a meeting of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with leaders of political parties.
The meeting is the commission’s regular quarterly consultative forum to discuss development within the polity and plans for future elections.
After the National Convention that returned Abure as National Chairman of the party, the Commission said that it did not monitor the exercise as stipulated by the Electoral Act, fuelling speculations it may not recognise him as the National Chairman.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Abure leadership have been locked in a battle of supremacy with the NLC insisting that Abure was no longer the National Chairman as his tenure has expired.
