There seems to be no end in sight for the crises in the Labour Party as the Edo State chapter has officially ratified the suspension of the National chairman of the party, Julius Abure.
The suspension was ratified in a correspondence to the National Headquarters of the party on the suspension from the membership of Ward 3, Arue, Uromi, Esan North East LGA, Edo State.
The letter which was signed by the chairman and secretary of the state chapter of the party,
Com. Ogbaloi K.S.E State Chairman and Com. Akhere Frederick respectively and INEC copied.
“After clinical analysis of the accusation, the Council found them weighty and further ratified and upheld the suspension,” the ward said.
Meanwhile, thugs suspected on Monday unleashed mayhem on protesters who were at the party National secretariat to demand Abure’s ouster.
The anti-Abure protesters stormed the party headquarters in some vehicles holding placards and chanting solidarity songs.
Armed policemen and operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) intervened when the thugs started throwing stones into the nearby Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, in pursuit of reporters who were covering the fracas.
The intervention of the security officials prevented the situation from further degenerating.
Our correspondent gathered that a police vehicle was stationed in between the warring factions.
