Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has denounced Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s style of government, calling it “outdated” and pointing to the lavish delegation of 1,411 people that was sent to the Climate Change conference in Dubai.
Citing the country’s dire financial situation, he claimed that Tinubu’s administration was unwilling to move away from previous economic errors.
During the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Benin Lion Bar chapter award ceremony, Abure expressed worry about the nation’s practice of borrowing money for necessities while devoting significant resources on these kinds of gatherings.

“It is obvious that the government of Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are not willing to depart from the circumstances that have plunged the nation into an economic quagmire in the past.”
Questioning the rationale behind taking such a large delegation to the conference, he articulated, “How can a country that is borrowing money to pay workers’ wages, a country plagued by insecurity, battered by power collapse, where investors are exiting the country by the day fritter away such a humongous amount of resources on a jamboree?”
He compared Nigeria’s approach with that of wealthier nations, saying, “A sober government should have known that borrowing money to attend conferences while rich nations attended the same event with less than twenty persons bothered on insensitivity and brazen impunity.”
Abure equally expressed confidence in the Labour Party’s ability to offer a better alternative, stating, “Nigerians have made their point and they are aware that the nation’s salvation lies with the Labour Party as we approach subsequent elections.”
He dedicated the NBA award he received from Chief Judge of Edo, Justice Daniel Iyobosa Okungbowa, to the millions of young Nigerians who aspire to a better future.
