Julius Abure Was Also Involved In Managing Peter Obi’s Campaign Funds – Aisha Yesufu

Popular activist, Aisha Yesufu has come out to say that Julius Abure is a liar.

She recently revealed this after Julius said only Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo were responsible for managing Peter Obi’s campaign funds at the 2023 election.

According to her, Julius Abure himself was also involved in managing the campaign funds, so it is unbelievable that he came out to point fingers.

Aisha added that Abure was the one who opened a Zenith Bank account asking Nigerians to partake in a Labour Party N1,000 Challenge online.

Her words, “That statement Abure made was a big fat lie. He thinks it was like those days when they used to do their Labour unionism when nobody had internet or keep records; those days they got away with everything. When it comes to certain things, I am a very detailed and process-driven person.

There were times when the fundraising team was frustrated with me because of my insistence on due process. Before Mr Obi came out with his campaign account, the Labour Party had theirs. I have with me here a ‘Labour Party N1,000 Challenge’ post that was tweeted on 24/11/22. It said ‘Take ownership of the LP campaign by donating a minimum of N1,000 to Labour Party Zenith Account 1225832294.

When that account was opened by Abure, I was very angry. I remember some people harmlessly saying it was no big deal since it was for the same Labour Party campaign. But I insisted that it is not the same thing because we don’t have access to any money that went into the LP account and therefore can’t use it to facilitate the electioneering campaign.

So for Julius Abure to come out in 2024 to blatantly lie that they were not involved in any campaign, saying it was only Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua (is unbelievable). By the way, there are three signatories, not two as he said. Up till now, the LP has not accounted for the money the public donated to them neither have they accounted for the money used to procure forms.”

WOW.
