The crisis rocking the Labour Party took a dramatic twist on Wednesday as members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) launched a protest at the party’s secretariat, demanding the immediate removal of party chairman, Julius Abure, and decrying plans for a purportedly clandestine national convention slated for month-end.
Allegations of exclusion and secrecy have fueled the confrontation, with the NLC leadership accusing Abure of orchestrating a convention devoid of stakeholder input, prompting a direct clash with both the NLC and the House of Representatives caucus.
This latest development confirms MUK TV’s earlier report on NLC’s directives to its member for the picketing of Labour Party’s offices nationwide.
Amidst heightened emotions, the workers, adamant in their stance, find themselves barred from entry by the Nigeria Police Force, setting the stage for a tense standoff.
