Supporters of the Labour Party, LP, threw caution to the winds and engaged in an altercation at the domestic wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Saturday.
Although the exact cause of the fracas is still unclear, however, at the centre of the storm are allegations of attacks by supporters of the partyâs erstwhile National Chairman, Julius Abure, on the one hand and a known member of the âObidient Movementâ, Ms. Precious Oruche, known on social media as âMama Pâ, on the other.
The Obidient Movement is the umbrella body of supporters and support groups loyal to the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
âMama Pâ had in, a Facebook post, accused Julius Abureâs supporters of leading an unprovoked attack on her person before and after a flight from Abuja to Benin on Friday.
However, Abureâs supporters in a statement signed by the factional LP National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, accused âMama Pâ and âagents of anti-democratic forcesâ of engaging in uncivilised conduct.
He accused her of unprovoked verbal assault on Abure, before and throughout the said flight.
Ifoh said: âThe leadership of the Labour Party is perplexed by the physical attack on our National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure by agents suspected to be working for anti-democratic elements who have tried unsuccessfully to wrestle the leadership of the party from him.
âFew hours ago, a prominent member of a known political family, Ms Precious Oruche, alias âMama Pâ accosted Barrister Abure while on a queue at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Abuja, boarding a Max Air flight en-route Benin, and attacked the Labour Partyâs National Chairman unprovoked.
âThe attacker, Madam P, who is also a known content creator, continued the attack all through the duration of the flight, defying all attempts by the Max Air flight attendants to calm her.
âThe assault, which attracted large population of onlookers, continued unabated on disembarkment at the Benin Airport, while she continued recording the scene.
âIt took the intervention of the security agents on hand to whisk Abure to safety while the attacker was handed over to the police for questioning.
âIn one of her films released, the lady who is a prominent member of the âObidientâ and claimed that she has contacts with the highest lolice hierarchy, boasted that nothing will happen to her.
âShe vowed that she will not stop attacking Abure or any member of the Labour Party executive because, according to her, âyou have killed Labour Party and you are the reason why Obi is no longer in the Labour Partyâ.
âThe leadership of the Labour Party is completely troubled with this cyber bullying and the consequences of the action of this political agent on the party.
âWe are by this statement, calling on the Inspector General of Police to thoroughly investigate this suicidal aggression against the leadership of the Labour Party and Barrister Julius Abure in particular.
âWe sincerely believe that the lady-agent was on an assignment to accomplish the desires of her pay masters.
âAssault and cyber-bullying are severe crimes under our laws and we think that the Police must fish out her sponsors and cohorts, and bring them to books.
âWe are calling on the members of the Labour Party to be calm, even in the face of this unwarranted provocation and wait for the outcome of the investigation on the unprovoked attack against the leadership of the party.â
