The national leadership of Labour Party has described as “null and void” the alleged expulsion of the Director-General of Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Dr Doyin Okupe, by some elements.

 The position of the national leadership of Labour Party was disclosed to reporters in Abuja by the party’s National Secretary, Umar-Farouk Ibrahim.

Ibrahim said: “The Ogun State Chapter has acted outside its Constitutional jurisdiction, the party has international conflict resolution mechanism of handling cases against members as enshrined in the party’s constitution,” he said.

“There are also disciplinary measures to be taken, for example, before you discipline any member, there are certain procedures that you have to follow, you have to issue query among other procedures, and that has not been followed.

“No complaint was written by the state chapter, his ward and his local government, so we are saying the national headquarters is not aware of what they are doing, they are doing it on their own.

“The National Working Committee (NWC) is going to set up a committee and appropriate disciplinary action would be taken against the perpetrators in the state exco and we are going to fish them out and take appropriate action.”

It would be recalled that some elements in Okupe’s ward were recently qouted as claiming to have expelled Okupe.
