LP Crisis: Abure Supporters Hold Protest in Abuja (Photo)

 

Some people in support of National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure have held a protest on Monday.

 

The supporters, took to the streets in Gudu, Abuja, to accuse the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC of meddling in the affairs of the Labour Party.

 

The protesters carrying placards with various inscriptions began their march from the new Abuja chapter secretariat.

 

Recall that the conflict between the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Labour Party has been ongoing for weeks.

 

The NLC had earlier accused Abure of running the affairs of the LP as a sole administrator. As a result, the NLC passed a vote of no confidence in the leadership of the national chair of the party and consequently called for his resignation.

 

The friction between the two organizations has captured public attention and raised questions about the legality of NLC to check LP and the underlying causes and implications of their dispute.

 

The war of attrition between the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party and the Joe Ajaero-led Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is threatening the future of the Labour Party as an entity investigation by Vanguard has shown

 

It was gathered that the sole reason for the conflict was the battle for control of the party structure.

 

Major stakeholders of the party have accused Abure of running the affairs of the party like a personal estate, a charge Abure consistently denied.
