The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) has expressed anger that some of those who begged to join the party ahead of last year’s general election are currently at loggerheads with its leadership.
It expressed disappointment over the role of its presidential candidate in last year’s general election, Mr. Peter Obi, and Abia State Governor Alex Otti in the party’s leadership crisis.
