NLC, Labour Party engaged in supremacy battle

The supremacy fight between the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and Labour Party, LP, has continued, with the union picketing the headquarters and secretariats of the party nationwide, insisting the national chairman, Julius Abure, quit office.

Describing the forcible entry of NLC members into its headquarters and secretariat as illegal and criminal.

Speaking when workers occupied the Labour Party headquarters in Abuja, the Deputy President of NLC Political Commission, Dr Theophilus Ndubuaku, said the picketing was to express workers’ grievances towards Abure’s administration of the party.

He said: “Nigeria is not the only country that has a Labour Party backed by Organised Labour. There are so many others.

“Why would our own be different, the essence of registering a Labour Party in this country is not only to become a president or hold an office but also to create a viable opposition and any country where there is no viable opposition, then there would be dictatorship. The reason we set up this party is to make us have good governance in this country.”

While faulting the alleged unilateral convocation of national convention without consulting the relevant stakeholders, the NLC stated further: “There has been court judgements declaring labour party as being owned by the NLC and there has been intervention by INEC telling Abure to appoint BOT members and organize all-inclusive convention.

“But what we now saw is a convention that we do not know who and who are going to be at that convention and the elected officers in the National Assembly thought he insulted them.

“You will not believe that a day before Abure issued the notice of the convention, he was with the NLC president and the political commission in the NLC office without telling them.

“All we are saying is that we do not want Abure, he should resign and go. He cannot be the sole administrator of Labour Party.”

The acting General Secretary of NLC, Comrade Bello Ismail, while speaking, said the commission had been engaging Abure, thinking he was following due process,

“We were also thinking he was going to organise a convention, in line with the understanding with Labour to have an all-inclusive convention but Abure, knowing that he can never survive an all-inclusive convention wanted to do a convention in the night.

“Those in the NLC Political Commission have done a lot of efforts to reach this state of taking over our party by ourselves. We would insist that all democratic norms are fulfilled. We will insist that workers take back their party.

“We want a convention where we are all the stakeholders and we are very active and all will participate.
“We do not want a convention where one man will hand pick the officers of the party. We want a convention where in the 37 states of the federation, all stakeholders, including workers, youths, young people, informal workers can have a say in the party.
