Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Youth Leader of the Labour Party, Kennedy Ahanotu has said embattled Julius Abure remains the National Chairman of the party, despite the current leadership crisis.<\/p>\n

The youth leader who spoke with Channels Television on Friday distanced himself from the National Working Committee\u2019s emergency meeting that produced Lamidi Apapa as acting chairman.<\/p>\n

He described the process of removing Abure as unlawful, stressing that illegality cannot be used to correct another illegality.<\/p>\n

The NWC emergency meeting was done secretly with the intention to hijack the collective interest of Nigerians, Ahanotu claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t use illegality to correct another illegality. If there is supposed to be a meeting of the National Working Committee, is there not supposed to be notice?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a WhatsApp platform where we share information, there was no notice that there was going to be an NWC meeting. I was totally not aware.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a deliberate attempt to hijack the collective interest of Nigerians. I have never seen such separation in my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I know, Abure remains the National Chairman of the Labour Party. Even if there is any case against him, this is not the process to remove him\u201d.<\/p>\n
