Labour veterans and trade unionists’ assembly have insisted that the party’s national chairman, Barrister Julius Abure and the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, must go.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the Veteran labour leader, Isah Tijjani, who had served as the former vice president of NLC lamented the ongoing show of shame, being flagrantly exhibited by Abure and Ajaero.
He said instead of proudly upholding the noble ideals of the party, a handful of avaricious, power hungry political fraudsters, deployed several subterfuges through which they succeeded in turning the nation’s promising workers’ party into a colossal political travesty.
He said, “The cumulative effect of this unfortunate development, is that, the political prospects signalled by the entry of this popular party into the contest for power in our dear country, are fast eroding into an unfathomable oblivion.
“This disagreeable decadence gripping the party, is being given tangible expression by the irony of the corrupt party leaders closing the gate of the party firmly against millions of workers willing to joyously join the party”, he added.
Tijani further lamented the current culture of selfishness and egocentric attitude in the current leadership of the Labour Union.
