The National Treasurer of the Labour Party, Oluchi Okpara has stirred a serious crisis in the Labour Party after he demanded that its National Treasurer Julius Abure account for about N3.5 billion party finances.
Opara disclosed this in a news briefing in Abuja on Monday.
She disclosed that the forms were generated from the sales of forms, and other fundraising activities during the 2023 general elections in the country.
Opara said, “With great reluctance and deep concern, I am compelled to publicly address the media regarding the egregious financial mismanagement and corruption that have plagued our beloved party under the leadership of Mr Julius Abure, the current National Chairman.
“As national treasurer, I am constrained to come before you and the public today because the internal mechanisms of our party have failed woefully to bring Mr. Abure to account for his brazen abuse of office and misappropriation of party funds.
“His appetite for power has grown unchecked, and he has deliberately undermined my duties and authority as stipulated in the party’s constitution.”
