LP disowns ‘NLC-energised’ Board of Trustees

In Enugu, six LP lawmakers announced their defection to the Peoples Democratic Party , citing divisions and internal wrangling.But, the ‘BoT’, in a statement by its Chairman Sylvester Ejiofor following the convention, said the takeover followed the “expiration of the tenure of the National Working Committee of the party led by Abure.”

This includes the convention or meeting convened for “merger” and electing members of its executive committees, and other governing bodies or nominating candidates. “Despite this huge success, it came to the leadership of the party as a huge surprise of a statement trending in the social media purportedly from one Comrade S. O. Z Ejiofor on behalf of the BoT of the party claiming that he has taken over the leadership of the party.

“It is surprising therefore that after he was ‘visited’ by some leaders of NLC, he suddenly woke up from his slumber.“NLC has continued to propose for the reconstitution of the BoT as well as the convocation of the National Convention. “Only people who understand the rules of the party and play by it such as carrying party cards and paying membership dues can have a say on the matters of the party.“Incidentally, Comrades Ajaero and Ejiofor are not members and will not be allowed to interfere with the internal matters of the party.”The six LP members of the Enugu State House of Assembly attempted to defect last Sunday at an event at Okpara Square, but it was stalled.
