Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The leadership of the Labour Party, LP, has accused the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, of unlawfully breaking and entering its national headquarters in Abuja.<\/p>\n

LP alleged that the \u201cmilitant arm of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC \u201cbroke into its national headquarters while carrying out a colossal destruction of properties.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifo, the party described NLC\u2019s action as a criminal act, a misplacement of priority and an action done in bad fate.<\/p>\n

The party also noted that the President of the NLC, \u201cJoe Ajaero\u2019s greed and inordinate ambition have pushed him into losing every sense of discretion and decency in his recent conduct, be it in his affairs with the workers or even the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ifoh wondered how Ajaero would lead a band of lawless persons who are known to have partisan interests in other major political parties, such as the PDP and APC, against a recognized independent political party.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cAjaero\u2019s continuous claim that NLC owns the Labour Party is not in any way supported by either the Electoral Act or the Constitution. For his information, a political party is owned by those who are card-carrying or financial members of the party. We are aware that more than 90 percent of the members of the NLC have not met this condition and therefore, cannot claim to be the owners of the party. The constitution also provides that no organisation can own any other organisation. The NLC as an organisation can therefore not claim the ownership of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, Nigeria is witnessing the worst economic strangulation ever in the history of Nigeria. Issues such as poor workers\u2019 wages, high inflation and insecurity with Nigeria turning to a Hobbesian state, yet after a year of his assumption of office, Ajaero has chosen to ignore all these national challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would interest you to know that Ajaero\u2019s NLC is yet to successfully picket any Federal Government establishment. His attempt to extend his rascality to Imo State was met with a higher and brutal force. Unfortunately for us in the Labour Party, we do not command any force, unlike the NLC which is now encouraging militancy within its ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy its own constitution, the NLC cannot even call for a picketing of any establishment without a directive of its NEC but what we saw was a political committee acting out an illegal script by Ajaero. The committee has no legal right to call an action in the nature of picketing or breaking and entering into a political party where most of them are not even members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe present NLC leadership is politicized. It has left its primary responsibility of defending Nigerian workers and has delved deeply into partisan politics, and this is a bad omen for the working community. We have earlier advised Ajaero to emulate the leadership of Ayuba Waba, Olaleye Quadri and Festus Osifo who had or are currently passing through a similar route and still maintain a working relationship with the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are, however, reviewing today\u2019s criminal actions and disruption of activities in our national headquarters with our legal department for further actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we saw today appears to be a personal vendetta against the national chairman, Julius Abure who they called several unprintable names including labelling him a thief. We are certainly going to take legal action on matters of libel.\u201d<\/p>\n
