The Julius Abure-led leadership of the Labour Party, LP, has described the Comrade Joe Ajaero’s leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, as being bad students of history.
It stated that having failed to learn from the failed attempt by a former leadership of the congress to take over the party, the NLC leadership had committed the same faux pas.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiorah Ifoh stated this on Thursday in response to the move by the NLC to take over the party.
Recalling what he claimed as an attempt by the Comrade Ayuba Wabba leadership of the NLC to take over the Labour Party in 2015 and the snub it got from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Ifoh said the move to oust the Abure leadership would similarly end in failure:
He said: “A good student learns from history.
“Where people refuse to learn from history, history will continue to repeat itself. When the Nigeria Labour Congress in 2015 attempted to crookedly take over the leadership of the Labour Party and wrote INEC, INEC replied them that they have no locus standi to interfere or change the leadership of the party.
“They have failed to learn from that trajectory and it is surprising that Joe Ajaero’s NLC is also taking the same line of action and trajectory and they are expecting a different result.
“A reasonable NLC would have been thinking of how to consolidate with the leadership of the Labour Party having made huge exploits and having achieved great results from the 2023 general election rather, they have chosen a collision cause which will neither help them nor help Nigerians.”
Published hereundr is the letter released by the Abure leadership of Labour Party to rebuff the NLC and justify the recognition of INEC.
