The factional chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, has asked members fraternising with other political parties to return to the fold.
He warned that the party is monitoring the activities of members associating with rival political platforms.
Abure stated this during the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja, on Monday.
He asserted that the party is open to reconciliation, and urged aggrieved members to sheath their swords.
Abure said while the Nigerian constitution permits freedom of association, the LP’s rules prohibit dual membership.
“The constitution of the party is very clear, and the constitution of Nigeria is equally clear, that you cannot belong to two political parties at the same time.
“We are watching members romancing other parties, and at the appropriate time, the party organs will decide what will happen.
“We are, therefore, using this opportunity to say that our doors are open. They should sheathe their swords and come back to the house.
“If they come back and apologise, we are ready to forgive them because we believe that there is no victor and there is no vanquished,” Abure said.
Abure also described himself as a leader who has built the LP into a national force.
