Nlc Plans To Unseat Labour Party Chairman.

 Leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress says it will unseat Julius Abure as national chairman of the Labour Party.

The NLC spokesman, Benson Upah, said that despite the ‘illegal’ national convention that returned Abure to office, the union would never confer legitimacy or give recognition to his leadership.

The development is coming at a time when a group of retired workers under the aegis of Lagos Assembly of Labour Veterans and Trade Unionists also called for the resignation of the embattled national chairman of the party and the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, over their contentious leadership struggle.

The party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, also seems to be at loggerheads with the leadership of the Party over the manner it conducted the convention in Nnewi, Anambra State, despite his plea for wider consultation, and had expressed his frustrations at an X (formerly Twitter) Space session organised by Parallel Facts.

While explaining his absence at the national convention that got Julius Abure re-elected as the party’s national chairman, Obi told his audience that he didn’t attend the event because the party’s leadership failed to heed his appeal for wider consultation with relevant stakeholders before the exercise.
