Recall that the NLC, on Wednesday, March 20, shut down activities at the secretariat of the LP, demanding the sack of Abure.

The NLC members protested against the Labour Party’s national convention planned for the end of this month.

But on Wednesday, March 27, the chairman of the National Convention and deputy governor of Abia state, Mr. Ikechukwu Emetu declared Abure the winner during the party’s national convention that held in Nnewi, Anambra state, Channels TV reported.

This came after Abure, accused the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero’s camp, of stealing funds meant for payment of staff salaries, among other valuables, during Wednesday’s attack.

Meanwhile, the president of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, addressed accusations of his intention to run for the Nigerian presidency in 2027.

Ajaero dismissed these claims, emphasising that his involvement with the Labour Party (LP) was solely for the party’s benefit.

He clarified that his goal in engaging with LP politics is to uphold a memorandum of understanding between Ayuba Wabba and Julius Abure, which aims to facilitate a seamless transition within the party.
