The national leadership of the Labour Party has accused the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, of colluding with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to destabilize the party.
The Party claims to have evidence of this alleged pact, asserting that Ajaero’s motive is to advance his political aspirations for 2027.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, the party dismissed the caretaker committee established by the NLC to take control of the Party, arguing that the NLC lacks the constitutional authority to do so.
The statement noted that the Political Commission of the NLC is a front for Joe Ajaero, which he has empowered for the purpose of his political ambition come 2027.
It also said the group is unknown to the Party and as such lacks powers to convene a meeting of ‘stakeholders’ to deliberate let alone take any decision which will have a binding effect on a legally constituted party leadership
