NLC shutdown Labour Party headquarters, demands Abure’s resignation

The Nigeria Labour Congress stormed the Labour Party’s headquarters on Wednesday to protest the party’s planned national convention, which is slated for the end of this month.

The Congress also demanded the sack of the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure.

The NLC leadership accused Abure of planning to hold a “secret” convention without the input of major stakeholders.

The planned convention has pitted Abure against the NLC and the House of Representatives caucus.

The workers accused Abure of planning to destroy the Labour Party.
