A confidential meeting held on Sunday in Abuja between Julius Abure, a leading figure in the Labour Party, and Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has ignited discussions about the party’s trajectory amidst ongoing internal strife.
The session, hosted at Wike’s private residence, comes amid escalating disputes within the Labour Party, particularly those involving supporters of Peter Obi. While the precise details of the meeting have not been made public, the timing is notable—shortly after Abure’s faction demanded that Peter Obi step aside for his involvement with the African Democratic Congress coalition.
One insider noted, “The meeting, which took place at Wike’s private residence in Abuja on Sunday, comes against the backdrop of renewed internal crisis in the LP.” The Labour Party has yet to issue an official statement, leaving room for speculation about possible shifts in leadership or policy.
Political analysts suggest that the meeting could signal new alliances or strategies as the party attempts to resolve its internal disputes. The outcome of these discussions may have far-reaching implications for the party’s stability and its prospects in future elections.
