BREAKING: NLC invades LP secretariat, demands Abure’s sack
The conflict between the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Labour Party (LP) has taken another turn as members of the NLC, on Wednesday, picketed the headquarters of the party in the Utako area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The union members led by the acting Chairman of the Political Commission of the Congress, Theophilus Ndubuaku, demanded the immediate resignation of Julius Abure as the national chairman of the party on the ground that he was not properly elected as the national chairman of the Labour Party.
The NLC political commission chairman also claimed that the planned convention of the party under the leadership of Abure is an illegal one.
Although no official of the party is at the headquarters, the labour leaders have occupied the premises of the party as officers and men of the Nigeria police force keep an eye on the secretariat to avoid vandalization.
