The Labour Party has condemned rightly the recent invasion of its party secretariat by the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, led by Joe Ajaero.
Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, called for Ajaero’s arrest for “treason” for allegedly planning a political insurrection against the Federal Government through conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
He added that their recent invasion constituted a breakdown of law and order in the state.
Rocketparrot News had on Tuesday reported that the NLC directed its members to mobilise workers and lay siege to LP secretariats across the country to protest the party’s national convention planned for March 27.
The circular jointly signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the NLC Political Commission, Titus Amba and Chris Uyot, respectively also demanded the immediate resignation or sack of the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, over the alleged ‘financial rascality and contempt of the union president, Joe Ajaero.’
But addressing a press conference on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, the LP National Publicity Secretary, Arabambi, called for Ajaero’s arrest.
“The set of NLC leadership as we have today is a failure who put an elephant on the head and scratched for rats on the grounds.”
