In what could be described as a joke taken too far, the faction of the Labour Party (LP) led by Julius Abure last week suspended Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, and senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, from the party indefinitely.
The factional National Secretary, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, who made the announcement, listed other suspended members to include: Darlington Nwokocha, Victor Afam Ogene, Amobi Ogah, and Seyi Sowunmi.
On May 2, the faction inaugurated a five-member disciplinary committee headed by the party’s deputy national chairman, Ayo Olorunfemi, to investigate some members over alleged anti-party activities.
