Labour Party’s National Treasurer, Mrs. Oluchi Opara, recently spoke to AYOOLA OLASUPO regarding her six-month suspension from the party and the corruption allegations involving the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, among other pressing issues.

When asked about the justification of her suspension by the National Working Committee (NWC), Mrs. Opara asserted that the action was merely a facade to conceal the party’s internal discrepancies from the public eye. She emphasized the necessity for Julius Abure to unequivocally refute the corruption allegations against him instead of resorting to evasive tactics. Mrs. Opara also highlighted her proactive approach by filing a lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe the party’s accounts. Additionally, she hinted at alleged attempts by Abure to suspend Peter Obi from the party, insinuating further discord within party ranks.

As the national treasurer, Mrs. Opara addressed her exclusion from crucial financial activities, implying a deliberate sidelining by Abure. She underscored her responsibility for overseeing all financial transactions within the party, indicating a breach of protocol by Abure. Moreover, she raised concerns about the mismanagement of party funds and highlighted discrepancies in financial accountability.

Mrs. Opara further emphasized her challenge to Abure’s accountability regarding funds raised through the sale of nomination forms and fundraising efforts preceding the 2023 general elections. She condemned the alleged diversion of party resources for personal gain, pointing to the lack of transparency in financial management.

In conclusion, Mrs. Oluchi Opara’s statements shed light on the internal strife within the Labour Party, with allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement at the forefront.
