Amid the current turmoil plaguing the Labour Party, members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) stormed the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, to demand the dismissal of the National Chairman, Julius Abure.

The union is also protesting the party’s national convention planned for the end of this month on the grounds that Abure is planning to hold a “secret” convention without the input of major stakeholders.
