Wike and Abure during the meeting

Factional Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has met with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, amid ongoing tensions within the party involving Peter Obi’s camp.

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.

Although the agenda of the meeting remains unclear, it follows shortly after the Abure-led faction asked the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to step down for aligning with the African Democratic Congress coalition. Punch
