The now-defunct Obi-Datti presidential campaign committee spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, stated that the union of the National Chairman Julius Abure’s group and the Labour Party, LP, Deputy Chairman Lamidi Apapa, is a positive step.

Tanko stated that the decision to set aside their disagreements and cooperate was made with a common goal in mind by Abure and Apapa’s section of the LP.

Speaking with ZINGTIE, Tanko said: “Politics is dynamic, and anything can happen at any time.

“If they have decided to work together, they may have a common purpose and if it’s for the interest of everybody, why not?

“If it’s for the interest of everybody, it’s welcome, but if it’s for the interest of another purpose, we can just question it.

“It’s good for the house to remain one if that is exactly what the target was.”

Abure and Apapa have been at odds since April 2023.

A court ruling prevented Abure and three other people from posing as the party’s national officers in April of that same year.

However, Abure retaliated vehemently to hold onto his position with the support of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which Joe Ajaero, the National President, leads.

However, during a contentious national convention in Anambra that reinstated Abure and his supporters, Abure’s relationship with the NLC worsened.

Following the convention, NLC decided not to support Abure and formed a transition committee in order to hold another convention.
