Social critic Aisha Yesufu has condemned former Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure, for allegedly deceiving about party funds.
Aisha Yesufu criticized Abure for thinking he could lie without being held accountable. Abure had accused Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo of handling the party’s campaign funds for the 2023 general election.
This accusation came as Abure faced allegations of mismanagement of party funds and claimed that the party did not have access to donations made for their presidential candidate.
He claimed that Aisha Yesufu and Ighodalo were the only ones authorized to access the accounts.
“The party was never involved in the distribution of those resources. Our interest was to see how we could produce a president for the party. How it was done was not our concern. Hence, we gave them free rein. We allowed them to entrust their resources to whomever they wanted. We followed them loyally by allowing them to administer the campaign funds,” Abure said.
However, Yesufu dug up Abure’s post on X in 2022, in which he asked people to take ownership of the party’s campaign by donating a minimum of N1,000 to the Labour Party account.
Aisha blasted the embattled party chairman, saying, “Julius Abure thinks we are still in 1980 where one can lie shamelessly without being fact-checked,” Yesufu posted on X.
