The Labour Party (LP) has set up a seven-member Disciplinary Standing Committee to curb the excesses of members not ready to abide by its constitution and obey directives.

The National Chairman, Julius Abure, told journalists on Tuesday in Abuja that the decision was one of the resolutions reached at the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

Abure urged all members to play by the rules and pay respect to the national leadership of the party and respect the LP constitution.

“All party members are under obligation to respect the integrity and dignity of the party and its leadership.

“The national leadership will not hesitate to discipline any member who is not ready to obey the Constitution of the Party and obey directives,’’ Abure said.

He listed members of the disciplinary committee to include Kehinde Edun, National Legal Adviser, who is the chairman.

Other members of the committee are Clement Ojukwu, Deputy National Chairman, Ayo Olorunfemi and Dudu Manuga, national women leader.

Others are Callistus Ihejiagwa, chairman, Imo chapter, Raji Mohammed, chairman, Kano State chapter, and Umar Ibrahim, national secretary, who is the secretary of the committee.

Abure urged members of the party to work together for the common purpose of lifting up the poor which LP stands for.
