LP Crisis: I’m Disappointed, Suspended Treasurer Speaking Truth – Charles Awuzie

 

Nigerian cyber security expert based in South Africa, Charles Awuzie has said suspended party Treasurer, Mrs Oluchi Oparah is saying the truth.

 

Recall that Oparah had made accusations against Labour Party Chairman, Julius Abure.

 

Awuzie, who supported the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said he is filled with deep disappointment.

 

Oparah had accused the National Chairman, Julius Abure of denying her access to the party’s financial records and bank accounts.

 

She equally demanded that Abure should render account of party funds in excess of N3.5billion, being proceeds of sale of forms and sundry funds raised for the 2023 general.

 

According to her, the chairman had so far shunned all entreaties to open the party’s books for scrutiny since the sale of expression of interest and nomination forms closed.

 

As a response to the allegations, the National Working Committee, NWC, of the Labour Party slammed a six-month suspension on Oparah.

 

The National Publicity Secretary of LP, Mr Obiora Ifoh, in a media briefing, said the suspended Treasurer is a mole who was being used by dissidents to cause disaffection in the party.

 

However, Awuzie, in a post on his Facebook page, suggested that the suspended Treasurer might be speaking the truth.

 

The cyber security expert said he was deeply sad about the development.
