According to them, Abure is planning a ‘secret’ convention, which they say is an attempt to destroy the Labour Party.

It was gathered that the misunderstanding has already pitched the Abure against the NLC and the House of Representatives caucus.

The protesting workers were, however, refused entry into the party Secretariat by the Nigeria Police Force.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Political Commission, has slammed the Labour Party (LP) National Chairman, Julius Abure, describing him as a drowning wannabe ‘politricstar’.

Recall that this was contained in a statement signed by Comrade Titus Amba, the Chairperson of the NLC Political Commission, and Comrade Chris Uyot, the Secretary of the NLC Political Commission.

NLC reiterated that the Labour Party belongs to the NLC while stressing that Abure violated a court order regarding the party’s ownership.

The body noted that Abure has consistently demonstrated a lack of respect for court agreements and had lost the confidence of most of the critical stakeholders in the party.
