The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has called for an audit of the accounts of the party amid allegations of corruption against the LP National Chairman, Julius Abure.
This was as Abure, on Thursday, challenged the suspended National Treasurer of the party, Oluchi Opara, to provide concrete evidence to back her N3.5bn fraud allegation against him.
Opara had on Monday challenged Abure to account for an alleged N3.5bn raised from the sale of nomination forms and fundraising activities in the build-up to the 2023 general elections.
As reported, Obi, said he had met with the party’s National Working Committee and advised on an audit of the party’s accounts to get to the root of the matter.
Meanwhile, Abure, who featured a guest on national television on Thursday continued to deny the allegation, challenging Opara to provide concrete evidence.
