The leadership of Labour Party has demanded the release of its National Vice Chairman, South-East, Mr Ceekay Igara, who arrested by the police allegedly on the order of Abia Governor, Alex Otti. The party made this demand in a statement by its Deputy National Chairman, Ayo Olorunfemi, on Saturday in Abuja.
Olorunfemi said Igara was arrested in Aba while holding a meeting with some party leaders when they were surrounded by policemen and whisked away without any warrant of arrest. “ Labour Party leadership is totally in shock over this development, particularly as it is coming on the orders of the party’s only state governor.
'LP is still at a loss over what may have caused the same governor who, a few months ago, stood by the party during our convention but suddenly turned to launch the worst offensive on the leadership. “He hosted the extended stakeholders’ meeting in Abia and thereafter formed a caretaker committee, hoping to wrestle power from our leadership,” he said.
