The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to attend the national convention of the Labour Party scheduled for March 27, 2024.
The NLC made this known in a letter from its solicitors, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, dated March 22, 2024, and addressed to the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.
In the letter signed by Marshal Abubakar, the NLC accused the Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, and his associates of planning an illegal convention in defiance of court orders.
The NLC also highlighted the illegality of such a gathering, citing previous court rulings that declared the Labour Party’s status and ordered inclusive conventions.
The Congress also threatened legal action if INEC failed to comply with the demand to prevent what they deemed a breach of justice and the rule of law.
