A well-known activist and Obidient member, Precious Oruche, popularly called Mama P, has allegedly attacked the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja while waiting to board a Max Air flight to Benin, the Edo State capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obidients are supporters of the former Anambra governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was disclosed in a statement on Saturday by LP\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Obiorah Ifoh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Ifoh, Mama P continued her assault on Abure throughout the flight despite efforts by cabin crew to intervene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe attacker, Madam P, who is also a known content creator, continued the attack all through the flight, defying all attempts by the Max Air attendants to calm her,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe assault, which attracted a large crowd, continued on disembarkation at the Benin Airport while she kept recording the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ifoh further alleged that Oruche later released a video where she \u201cboasted of having strong police connections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn one of her films released, the lady, who is a prominent member of the \u2018Obidient\u2019 and claimed that she has contacts with the highest police hierarchy, boasted that nothing will happen to her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe vowed that she will not stop attacking Abure or any member of the Labour Party executive because according to her, \u2018you have killed Labour Party, and you are the reason why Obi is no longer in the Labour Party.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LP spokesperson described the attack as \u201ca suicidal aggression\u201d against Abure and accused \u201canti-democratic forces\u201d of orchestrating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe sincerely believe that the lady-agent was on assignment to accomplish the desires of her paymasters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAssault and cyber-bullying are serious crimes under Nigerian law, and we expect the police to fish out her sponsors and bring them to book.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged party members to remain calm and await the outcome of investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you should know<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since gaining prominence during the 2023 elections, bolstered by Peter Obi\u2019s campaign and the Obidient movement, Julius Abure has faced intense leadership battles within the Labour Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though some court rulings, including by the Court of Appeal, affirmed his leadership, a Supreme Court ruling in April 2025 raised concerns about the legality of his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The party has since splintered into factions, with disputes over constitutional interpretation, the timing of conventions, and the role of caretaker committees fueling tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A well-known activist and Obidient member, Precious Oruche, popularly called Mama P, has allegedly attacked the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2197],"tags":[2380,1190,877],"class_list":["post-29260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-julius-abure","tag-labour-party","tag-peter-obi","resize-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ideemlawful.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
