LP Asserts Decision To Hold Convention, Wednesday.
Leadership of the Labour Party says it will hold its contentious national convention on Wednesday as planned.
The development comes two days after the party formally petitioned relevant government institutions requesting an urgent intervention to protect the party against further aggression from the Nigeria Labour Congress.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi; Ministry of Labour and Employment and Registrar of Trade Unions, Falonipe Amos, the party also called for disciplinary action to be taken against the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, and other union leaders who spearheaded the alleged vandalization of its properties.
The protesting workers had laid siege to Labour Party national headquarters in Abuja chanting solidarity songs and demanding Abure’s resignation, and prevented from gaining access to the party secretariat by security operatives posted to the area to maintain order.
