As the unresolved leadership crisis current rocking the Labour Party (LP) becomes a judicial affair, following a court injunction that formally restrained the embattled National Chairman, Julius Abure to stop parading himself as leader of the party, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has vowed to resist any attempt from any quota to sabotage the Labour Party (LP) in the country.

The Leadership of the NLC, in a march protest, stormed the LP Secretariat where the factional LP National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa has allegedly taken tenancy, said they were at the party’s Secretariat to show solidarity with the LP national Chairman, Julius Abure who was restrained by the Court to cease functioning as the national Chairman of the Party.
The President, Mr. Joe Ajaero said the NLC cannot afford to allow miscreants to derail the party that Nigerian workers have laboured so hard to build.

He advised those who are currently hiding under the cover of politics by sponsoring crisis in the party to desist from their notorious act as the NLC would not hesitate to unmask them before the general public.

It would be recalled that a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, had ordered Mr. Julius Abure, to stop parading himself as the National Chairman of the party.

Also, the court ordered that the party’s National Vice Chairman, Mr. Lamido Apapa, should take over the party in acting capacity.

However, in a twist of event, a High Court in Benin, Edo, also gave an order, restraining anybody or group from removing the embattled party chairman from office.

Ajaero said “today, we say enough is enough! Never again will any human being enter here, under any guise, under any order.

“Even if we lose our leadership, we have to meet as trustees of this LP to decide the next line of action.

“For anybody to illegally declare himself either as chairman, secretary or whatever, we urge all workers in the country to arrest such impostors.

“We have come to take our party. As the fastest growing party, you can see that envy and jealousy is creeping in.

“For anybody, or group of people, to think that they will sabotage or derail our ideological movement, we will resist any attempt to sabotage the party with everything within our powers,” he said.

The NLC president, however, noted that the LP was a child of circumstances and the party was formed when all confidence was lost in the existing political parties.

He stressed that “this is our party. Nobody can come from the blues and declare himself as the chairman or secretary of our party without our consent. It is not done”.
Responding, Mr. Julius Abure, suspended national chairman of the party said that he was not opposed to peace in the party.

Abure said that no amount of intimidation or deceit would stop him from pursuing and reclaiming the party’s mandate, which was given to them at the presidential elections.

“I want to state here clearly that I remain committed to the struggle for a new Nigeria. I want to say that no man can stop an idea whose time has come.
