The Labour Party, LP, National Chairman, Julius Abure, has said Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo, managed the party’s campaign funds in 2023.
Abure said Yesufu and Ighodalo were signatories to LP 2023 campaign funds and not the party as widely speculated.
The embattled LP National Chairman spoke at a press conference after the party’s National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja on Monday.

He dismissed claims of LP mismanaging its funds.
According to Abure: “The party was never involved in the distribution of those resources. Our interest was to see how we could produce a president for the party. How it was done was not our concern.
“Hence, we gave them free rein. We allowed them to entrust their resources to whomever they wanted. We followed them loyally by allowing them to administer the campaign funds.
“Regarding donations, the party was not involved in collecting any campaign donations; they were channelled to accounts opened for campaign purposes, with Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo as the signatories.
“They were also responsible for payments to polling unit agents. The party did not handle the payments to the agents.”
