Ajaero, Ejiofor not our members – Labour Party

The Labour Party, LP, has declared that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, President, Joe Ajaero and Comrade SOZ Ejiofor, will not be allowed to interfer with the party’s internal matters.

The LP said both Ejiofor and Ajaero are not members of the party.

A statement signed by the spokesman of the party, Obiora Ifoh, urged those against the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure to sheath their swords.

The statement read, “This is what desperation in the ranks of the NLC can cause. Why not let the man enjoy his retirement, why drag him into your mess. Let Comrade Ejiofor show evidence of one meeting he convened in the last one decade of his so-called BoT.

“Enough of all these political muscle flexing, Barrister Julius Abure has just been elected by the convention for the first time as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, we urge our detractors to please sheathe the sword and join us to salvage the nation.

“Article 77.—(1) of the Electoral Act states that A political party registered under this Act shall be a body | corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal and may sue and | be sued in its corporate name.

“It therefore means that the Labour Party is a body different from the body that founded it. The NLC should no longer be under any illusion that it owns the Labour Party. Labour Party is not a political association, it is a party subscribed by all Nigerians including workers, non workers, students amongst others.

“Only people who understand the rules of the party and play by it such as carrying party cards and paying membership dues can have a say on the matters of the party. Incidentally, Comrades Ajaero and Ejiofor are not members and will not be allowed to interfere with the internal matters of the party.”
