Petition against Abure
“On December 28, 2023, I flew into Benin City Airport around 2 p.m. as part of an official 5-member delegation authorised by the Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Alhaji Lamidi Basiru Apapa.
“Our mission was to organise Ward, LGA, and State Congresses in Edo State, as well as supervise the sale of nomination forms for various posts, as mandated by INEC guidelines, within the stipulated time frames.
“On arrival at the Benin Airport, I was received by one Mrs Mary Okheime Newberry, who falsely claimed to be providing transportation and accommodation on behalf of unnamed “stakeholders.”
Netizens react to Abure’s arrest
“When will police learn how to treat people with dignity?
“Even if the allegations are true, where is their professionalism?
“I don’t condole corruptions or the likes, but have APC not done wørsę than this in their doings?
“Was Betta Edu arrested in this dragging manner?”
“Apc today has captured Labour Party. From now henceforth, Tinubu will be in full control of that party… That’s the goal of his arrest. Tinubu doesn’t miss a golden opportunity like this.”
“From vote of confidence to prison .”
“Issues dey oOoOO but it’s better like this, instead of one man’s greed to jeopardize the efforts of the entire Nigerian youths. We have come along way to look at people’s face. Anyone found culpable will collect. @PIDOMNIGERIA thank you for your efforts in all of this.”
