The Nigeria Labour Congress does not have the powers to sack the Julius Abure- led National Working Committee of the Labour Party.
The spokesperson of the party, Obiora Ifoh, disclosed this on Tuesday in reaction to the purported sacking of the Abure leadership.
Ifoh said the NLC took the sack decision after holding an illegal assembly of a handful of aggrieved former members of the party and some social media tigers who are not known to be card carrying members of our party.
The LP statement said “Ordinarily, we would have ignored the illegal act but for the need to set the records straight and to prevent genuine democracy loving Nigerians and supporters of our great party from being mislead, we offer a few clarifications.
“The Political Commission of the NLC is a front for Comrade Joe Ajaero which he has empowered for the purpose of his political ambition come 2027. The group is unknown to the Labour Party as such lacks powers to convene a meeting of “stakeholders” to deliberate let alone take any decision which will have a binding effect on a legally constituted party leadership.
