Anslem Eragbe, the suspended Labour Party National Youth Leader, has claimed that his suspension by the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, is unconstitutional.
On Thursday, Eragbe mentioned this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily program.
He stated that under the LP’s constitution, the national chairman was not authorized to suspend him alone, because the decision did not go via the party’s National Executive Council, and that he remained the party’s young leader.

He also stated that the party’s stakeholders had requested that calm and peace reign.
Eragbe said, “Let me say this quickly, we operate under the laws, there are things we shouldn’t be seen doing. I do not accept my suspension because it is illegal. I am the national youth leader but not withstanding because of the appeals everywhere, this matter is being looked into within the party system and the stakeholders, they have appealed for calm.”
The Labour Party suspended the beleaguered youth leader for six months in October for alleged insubordination and fraud, among other things.
Despite Eragbe’s allegation that the charges leveled against him were “not factual,” the party proceeded to replace him as its interim youth leader with Kennedy Ahanotu.
