The Labour Party, LP, has dismissed claims by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Political Commission, NLC-PC, that the embattled National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure is for working for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This was contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, in Abuja on Friday.
Ifoh dismissed the claims that Abure-led National Working Committee is working for the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said, “Since after the recent court judgment upholding the leadership of Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, some persons have tried to cast aspersion on the National Chairman of the party. They have pushed the narrative that the Labour Party was working for the APC. And that is why the LP has been winning all its court cases.
The National Publicity Secretary, however, described such narratives as misleading, mischievous. He stated that it is a calculated attempt to continue to distract and derail the Abure-led NWC. And also give the party leadership a bad name to hang it.
He said, “I must state clearly that the LP has been and is still critical of APC more than NLC. We put it on record that the NLC, in all its ramifications, has failed the Nigerian workers.
“Today, Nigerian workers are oppressed. The economy is not working. There are unfair practices against workers. And nobody speaks for the oppressed workers in Nigeria, except the current leadership of the party.
“If there is any leadership of the party from inception that has been very critical of the Government, it is the Abure leadership of the Labour Party.
“For the first time, the leadership of the party under Barrister Julius Abure has been able to record unprecedented achievements,” Ifoh said.
