The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Comrade Julious Abure, has accused the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero of destroying successes Labour Party recorded in 2023 general election.
Abure who was speaking for the first time since the picketing of the party secretariat described the action of the labour leaders as a shame and act of rascality.
This was contained in a statement signed on his behalf by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in Abuja, on Thursday.
He said, “What we saw was a show of shame, a show of rascality, an abuse of office and an abuse of the law of the land.
“Nigeria Labour congress is subject to the law. NLC under Joe Ajaero is not above the law and the law precludes Ajaero and the leadership of NLC to take law into their hands; where they besieged the office, broke the fence, destroyed the gates, unlawfully took possession of the Secretariat and destroyed properties worth millions of naira.
“Properties stolen including monies made for the payment of salaries and other official purposes. This is unfortunate. It is becoming unbecoming.
“I must state today that the leadership of NLC under Joe Ajaero is on the part of destroying the successes we have recorded in the 2023 general election.
I had expected that as a responsible trade union centre, a responsible labour leader; he should have teamed up with Labour Party to see how we can team up together to make the country better
