The national leader of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has vowed to look into the crisis in the party.
Members of the Labour Party National Transition Committee had protested at the party’s secretary in Abuja, requesting Julius Abure’s resignation as the LP national chairman.
But Obi who was in attendance of the National Working Committee meeting of the LP, vowed to look into the difficulties confronting the party.
“Let me tell you one thing, their reconciliation is all about our party and I can assure you that everyone must reconcile with each other,” he said in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary Obiora Ifoh.
“During our meeting before we learnt that our people were outside, I told them that my first assignment was reconciliation, my second assignment was reconciliation and my third assignment, reconciliation and I can tell you that what you witnessed earlier is a normal thing in our lives, I do the same thing. It is what I do every day even in our families. When we quarrel with our wives and children, we reconcile. Even today during the meeting, I made one instance which is that I have come to start the work of reconciling the family,” the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 election said.
“So these people here are members of the family who we must reconcile with. We are going to sit down around a table and decide the future of our party. I am ready for a reconciliation meeting any day you choose.
“And I like what happened here today. This means we have just started the reconciliation process and what we achieved today was so much, as I told you sometimes it happens in my house, and I allow it because that is the only way I know how mature my children have become.”
