Popular human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu has lambasted embattled National Chairman of Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure for accusing her of mismanaging Labour Party’s 2023 campaign fund.

She took to her X page and wrote:

“Julius Abure thinks we are still in 1980 where one can lie shamelessly without being fact-checked.”

For those who don’t know, this is what Abure said:

“Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo were signatories to LP 2023 campaign funds and not the party as widely speculated.”

“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.”

“Regarding donations, the party was not involved in collecting any campaign donations; they were channelled to accounts opened for campaign purposes, with Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo as the signatories.”

“They were also responsible for payments to polling unit agents. The party did not handle the payments to the agents.”
