The Labour Party, LP, National Chairman, Julius Abure has said the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, under President Joe Ajaero, is not above the law. Abure accused the NLC of engaging in a show of rascality by picketing its offices across the country.
He described the NLC's action as an abuse of power, stressing that the body's action was politically motivated ahead of LP's National Convention. The NLC leadership had accused Abure of planning to hold an “illegal convention”. However, addressing a press conference in Abuja, Abure said: “What we saw in the Labour Party was a show of rascality, an abuse of office, an abuse of the laws of the land. The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is a subject of law.
“The law precludes Joe Ajaero and the leadership of the NLC to do what they did today to the office of the Labour Party where they besieged the office, broke the office, destroyed the faces of the office, unlawfully took possession of the secretariat and destroyed properties worth billions of naira. “This is unfortunate, this is unrealistic and the laws are very clear that you cannot picket an organisation that does not have your workers.
