The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has extended an olive branch to members who are fraternising with other political parties, urging them to return to the party.
Abure, the National Chairman of the party, made this known while briefing journalists on the outcome of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, the party’s doors are open to those who wish to return, provided they acknowledge their actions.
Abure explained that while every Nigerian had the right to associate with any group or political party of his or her choice, the party’s constitution was unambiguous.
“The constitution of the party is very clear, and the constitution of Nigeria is equally clear, that you cannot belong to two political parties at the same time.
“We are watching members romancing other parties, and at the appropriate time, the party organs will decide what will happen.
“We are, therefore, using this opportunity to say that our doors are open. They should sheathe their swords and come back to the house.
“If they come back and apologise, we are ready to forgive them because we believe that there is no victor and there is no vanquished,” he said.
