Transition Committee set up by the Nigeria Labour Congress to oversee the national and state congresses of the Labour Party has described plans by the embattled National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, to hold a separate convention as disobedience to a court order.

The transition committee warned members of the party not to participate in the planned congress by Abure.

The Chairman, Sub-committee on Media & Publicity, Tony Akeni, in a statement said, NLC has been pushing to remove Abure as the LP National Chairman, declaring a convention that returned him as the party’s chairman as illegal, adding that, the action had compelled the NLC Political Commission to void the new leadership and set up a transition committee, saddled with the task of engaging stakeholders of the party to conduct a fresh convention in 90 days.

The Transition Committee Chairman, Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, who disclosed development following the resolution of the stakeholders meeting on May 8, unveil plans for the party’s national convention.

Reacting to the call for a fresh congress by the Abure’s faction, Akeni said the call was illegal and in violation of the constitutional regulations of political parties in Nigeria.
