Abure, while addressing journalists after the meeting, noted that the party would make a difference in deepening the nation’s democracy.
According to him, “The federal lawmakers-elect are men of integrity, and none will jump ship in the 10th National Assembly.
“We must record here that all those elected on the Labour Party platform are men and women of high reputation and integrity, and I’m sure they were aware of the basis of their election.
“Even if there are infiltrations, our members can resist such infiltrations.”
