In a show of solidarity, supporters of Julius Abure, the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, took to the streets in Gudu, Abuja, to protest what they perceive as the interference of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the party’s affairs.
Carrying placards with powerful messages, the protesters embarked on their march from the new Abuja chapter secretariat, making their voices heard in a peaceful demonstration.
The conflict between the NLC and the Labour Party has been a topic of intense debate, with the NLC accusing Abure of acting as a sole administrator within the party. This led to the NLC passing a vote of no confidence in Abure’s leadership and calling for his resignation.
The ongoing power struggle between the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party and the Joe Ajaero-led Nigeria Labour Congress is not just a mere clash of personalities. It is a battle for control over the party structure, with major stakeholders accusing Abure of treating the party as his personal fiefdom.
As tensions escalate and the future of the Labour Party hangs in the balance, the implications of this dispute are far-reaching. The public is left questioning the legality of the NLC’s intervention in the affairs of the Labour Party and the potential consequences of this internal strife.
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, one thing remains clear – the fight for control and power within the Labour Party threatens to tear the party apart. The stakes are high, and the outcome of this conflict will shape the future of the party for years to come.
