Labour Party Denounces NLC Shutdown, Calls Move Illegal
Latest Politics updatein nigeria
The Labour Party (LP) leadership has described the nigeria Labour Congress’ (NLC) invasion of its national secretariat as “a criminal act, a misplacement of priority, and an action done in bad fate.”
In a statement issued by the Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the party wondered how NLC national chairman Joe Ajaero, ”would lead a band of lawless persons against a recognized independent political party.”
Part of the statement read: ”Ajaero’s 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 per cent 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.
”Today, nigeria is witnessing the worst economic strangulation ever in the history of nigeria.
