The suspended National Treasurer of the Labour Party, Ms Oluchi Oparah, has challenged the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, to give an of the donations received from Nigerians in the Diaspora during the campaign tour of LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the United States.

The PUNCH reported that the national leadership of the Labour Party sent Opara on a six-month suspension last week, following her claim that Abure diverted N3.5bn allegedly raised from the sale of nomination forms and fundraising activities in the build-up to the 2023 general election.

But Abure maintained that there was no N3.5bn raised, saying: “Total summary of the money that entered into the party was N1.3bn. We also got N800m for the campaign. I want to challenge her to make the records available where she got the sum of N3.5bn.”

But not backing down on her allegations, Opara, in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Sunday, asked Abure to give an of the funds raised during the LP presidential campaign tour in the US.

Opara said, “Abure used the name of the party to raise funds during the United States campaign tour. They reflected in all the documents and tickets I printed out. We have the tickets for $500 and $100 in the name of the party. But Abure returned and didn’t drop a dime. We are talking about a man who uses proxy s to withdraw money from the party.

"Again, for 10 to 11 months, Abure has been the only one withdrawing the money. I don’t know how he does it, whether by forgery or other means. We are three signatories to the s but the third person, a former chairman, is dead now.”

When ed, Abure denied any wrongdoing, saying Opara was merely out to tarnish his image.

He said, “We made changes to the . That was how we were able to run the party from January 2021 to March 2021 when we had the NEC meeting in Benin, where I emerged as the national chairman of the party. All the money withdrawn between January and March 2021 was co-signed with the acting national chairman, Maria Lebeke.

"I was the national secretary at the time and there was no way I could have withdrawn from the or any person could have withdrawn money without the co-signatory. We brought in the new acting chairman who co-signed all the cheques, Opara equally co-signed the cheques. So, changes of signatories were made and we needed to run the party, and a lot of activities of the party at that time were co-signed by Maria Lebeke, and it is obvious.”

Hehehe

Ordinary campaign funds they cannot for and they want to be in charge of the nation’s treasury someday.

Losers’ Party is not different from PDP and APC.

The same thieves, different political party names but one hypocrite

Abure is a f**** thief, nothing makes labour party different from every other Nigerian political party. Obi is just like every other politician in Nigeria, they are all thieves ✌️💯

They are all the same, APC, PDP, LP but my Obi brothers will not agree. To them Abure is a saint because he's got Peter's backing.

E go cast.

I wonder how people believed their so called statement telling us how much they got and how much they spent.

Labour Party got billions of Naira and they shared it between themselves and Aisha.

Peter Obi is now moving from one burial and death location to another with his black mourning clothes donating the campaign funds.

If you want Peter Obi to come to your place, just make it loud on social media that someone died or people died. Peter Obi in his ever ready mourning black clothes will appear and donate money.

Ordinary campaign fund,they cannot for it,yet they claim to be saints. Why can Abure step down while investigation is going on. Why did they hurriedly suspend the Treasurer. Abure cannot be on sit while being investigated. He doesn't need to be told to step aside for the time being. If the NWC had listened to the woman, she wouldn't have come online to express her greviancies.
