Despite opposition of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Julius Abure has been re-elected as the National Chairman of Labour Party, (LP) for a second term by a unanimous affirmation of delegates.
A report monitored on Channel’s Television stated that the Chairman of the National Convention committee and Deputy Governor of Abia State, Mr. Ikechukwu Emetu declared him the winner during the party’s national convention that held on Wednesday in Nnewi, Anambra State.
Abure has been having a running battle with the NLC leadership led by Comrade Joe Ajaero.
Earlier, the NLC called for Abure’s resignation as party Chairman and the immediate setting up of a caretaker transition committee to organize a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention for the party.
On March 20, workers who were not allowed access into the party office gathered around the premises chanting songs against, and demanding the sack of the Labour Party Chairman whom they accused of financial impropriety.
