The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has sacked the National Chairman of Labour Party, Julius Abure and his National Working Committee at a national convention recently held in Anambra state.
The Congress passed a vote of no-confidence on the purported convention and the leadership that emerged after the NLC Political Commission Stakeholders meeting in Abuja.
According to a communique issued at the end of the meeting, NLC approved the constitution of a Transition Committee under the leadership of the NLC Political Commission to manage the affairs of the party for the meantime.
The stakeholders also agreed that once constituted, the transition committee should fully take over the secretariats of the Party all over Nigeria.
“That the Transition Committee shall immediately set up an assets recovery process of all the properties of the Labour Party.
“The Transition Committee shall also ensure that all the cases of fraud, impersonation and forgery of government documents pending against a few discredited former officers of the Labour Party are forensically audited.
“It should ensure that the culprits are diligently prosecuted as demanded by leader of the Labour Party – Mr. Peter Obi.
” It is unfortunate that the actions of these few dishonourable characters have splashed mud on the white satin of Labour Party,” the stakeholders held.
They resolved that the Transition Committee should, within three months of its constitution ensure the conduct of a national convention of the Party.
The stakeholders stressed via the communiqué, that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and all the relevant security organisations in Nigeria were hereby notified of this new development.
They further restated that the Labour Party maintains its commitment to inclusion of all Nigerians.
