Under Adams, organs decided to change the name to the Labour Party, and the first chairman was S.O.Z Ejiofor who later handed over to Dan Anyanwu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the essence of forming the party is to make sure that workers, pensioners, farmers, can be able to have a platform to exercise their rights, which is enshrined in Section 40 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe party was formed by NLC, and registered by NLC. It\u2019s like you built a house, you got a C-of-O, then you rented the apartment, so you must have an interest in how the property is managed,\u201d Wabba said.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, members of the NLC stormed the party\u2019s national secretariat, to protest the LP\u2019s national convention planned for the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>The protesting NLC members also demanded the sacking of Abure as the party\u2019s Chairman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
