The Factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has congratulated the newly sworn-in Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan. He recently urged the new INEC chair to resist political pressure on LP leadership issues.
In a congratulatory letter addressed to the new INEC boss, Abure commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Amupitan.
According to him, he can only urge Amupitan to remain apolitical and committed to upholding the rule of law while discharging his duties.
He stated that Nigeria needs an INEC chairman who loves the country and will fight hard to protect its fragile democracy.
“I must say that you came prepared to face the challenges and to help secure our fragile democracy.
Nigeria craves for an umpire who is apolitical and whose past has testimonies of love for the nation.
Nigerians need a strong-willed umpire who will place the nation first and who will not succumb to cheap blackmail and little tricks by politicians,” he wrote.
He further begged Prof. Joash Amupitan to ensure full compliance with existing court judgments recognising his leadership of the Labour Party.
Abure concluded by hailing the immediate past acting INEC Chairman, Mrs May Agbamuche-Mbu, for deciding to right the very many wrongs of the past leadership of INEC.
“As a worker in the temple of justice and one known to have always respected the rule of law, we urge you to revisit this abnormality and restore recognition to the current leadership of the Labour Party, as led by my humble self,” he added.
