The leadership of the Labour Party has warned the Nigeria Labour Congress against trying to hijack the political platform, saying it lacked the power to sack the Julius Abure-National Working Committee as recently declared.

The reaction was contained in a statement issued by National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh titled ‘NLC, cohorts lack powers to sack legitimate leadership of Labour Party.’

Ifoh described the stakeholders’ meeting as an illegal assembly of a handful of aggrieved former members of the party and some ‘social media tigers’ who are not card-carrying members of LP.

He alleged that the Political Commission of the NLC is a front for Comrade Joe Ajaero, which he has allegedly empowered for the purpose of his political ambition come 2027.
