The 36 state chairman of the party called on Abure, whom they recognise as the national chairman of the party, to immediately call for a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting

They passed a vote of confidence on Abure and insisted that Yomi Arabambi and Anslem Eragbe remained suspended from the party.

They hailed the decision of the Trustees of the party, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade union Congress (TUC) for their decision to stand by Abure, insisting that due process must be followed for any removal or suspension to take effect.
