We came to fumigate rodents’ — NLC storms #Labourparty secretariat

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru, Abuja

Amidst tight security, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Monday, stormed the national secretariat of the Labour Party at Utako in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja to show solidarity with the embattled national chairman, Mr Julius Abure.

The LP has been enmeshed in a leadership crisis for about two weeks now following the FCT High Court interim injunction restraining the party’s chairman from parading himself as the national chairman.

Arising from the FCT court order, the party’s national vice chairman (South), Lamido Bashir Apapa assumed the position of the chairman on acting capacity.

Addressing workers at the party office, the NLC’ president, Comrade Joe Ajaero said the labour movement will resist any plot to derail Labour Party, especially now that it is enjoying wide acceptance by Nigerians.

He said under no circumstances will the labour movement allows anyone to derail the party they worked hard to recover from impostors.

The visibly angry NLC President said, “Today, we say enough is enough. Never again will any human being enter here under any guise, under any order. Even if we lose our leadership, we have to meet as trustees of this party to decide the next line of action.

“For anybody to illegally declare himself either as chairman, secretary or anything, we urge all workers anywhere in the country, where you see such people, arrest them them and bring them to us.
