The crisis rocking Nigeria's Labour Party has taken a new dimension as the Julius Abure-led faction has threatened to expel House of Representatives member, Afam Ogene, and initiate a recall process against him from his constituency.

In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, the party's National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, accused Ogene of poor performance as a lawmaker elected under the Labour Party platform and alleged that he had obtained classified documents from the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation.

"A classified document, which should be with the IGP or the minister of justice cannot be in Ogene's possession. He is expected to contribute in making laws in the National Assembly. How come he is now privy to classified documents from the IGP and AGF's office?" Ifoh questioned.

The party spokesperson further called on the police high command to immediately invite and interrogate the lawmaker to disclose the source of the document, accusing Ogene of attempting to "cyber-bully the attorney-general, the police and the leadership of the party."

Ifoh revealed that Ogene had already been suspended from the party for his alleged "incapability to lead the party caucus in the National Assembly," suggesting that the lawmaker's recent actions were retaliatory.

"He and his sponsors had expected that by now, Abure's leadership would have been terminated but they were surprised at the Supreme Court ruling which put paid to their evil intentions," Ifoh stated.

The party warned that if Ogene continues on this path, they would have no choice but to expel him from the party and institute a recall process from his constituency, describing him as "a disservice to the people of his constituency."

This development adds another layer to the ongoing leadership crisis within the Labour Party, which has seen various factions emerge since the party's rise to national prominence following the 2023 general elections.

The Abure faction appears to have been emboldened by a recent Supreme Court ruling that seemingly favored their leadership position, though details of this ruling were not specified in the statement.

As of the time of reporting, Representative Ogene has not publicly responded to these allegations and threats from the Abure-led faction of the Labour Party.
