NLC Annuls Labour Party’s National Convention: Transition Committee Emerges

In a significant turn of events, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has nullified the outcome of the Labour Party’s national convention, raising questions about the legitimacy of the leadership reinstated during the event.

Following a deliberative meeting of the NLC Political Commission Stakeholders in Abuja, a communiqué was issued, denouncing both the convention and the resulting leadership under Julius Abure.

Prominent figures within the Labour Party, including Mr. S.O.Z. Ejiofor, Chairman of the Labour Party Board of Trustees, and former NLC President Mr. Abdulwahed Omar, alongside Prof. Theophilus Ndubuaku, Chairman of the NLC Political Commission, appended their signatures to the communiqué, underlining its significance.

Central to the resolution was the establishment of a Transition Committee, under the leadership of the NLC Political Commission, tasked with overseeing the interim governance of the Labour Party. This committee is mandated to assume operational control of Labour Party secretariats nationwide and commence an audit process to recover party assets.

Of paramount importance is the committee’s responsibility to address cases of malpractice within the party, including instances of fraud, impersonation, and document forgery. The stakeholders emphasized the imperative of upholding the party’s integrity and swiftly moving towards organizing an all-inclusive national convention within a concise timeframe.

In addition, the Transition Committee has been directed to commence the validation of existing party members while simultaneously opening avenues for new registrations. It is anticipated that this initiative will inject vitality into the party’s ranks, targeting an initial membership base of 10 million individuals.
