NLC Condemns Abure’s Move to Conduct LP Convention

The Transition Committee set up by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to oversee the national and state congresses of the Labour Party has condemned plans by the embattled National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, to hold a separate convention.

They insisted that such a move was a disobedience to 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, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

Akeni argued that the call for a fresh Congress by Abure’s faction was illegal and in violation of the constitutional regulations of political parties in Nigeria.
