•We won’t allow Abure impose candidates on us —NLCBENIN CITY—Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, yesterday, picketed the Edo State Labour Party, LP, secretariat, at Ogbelaka Street, Benin City, over alleged financial rascality and contempt of the NLC by the National Chairman of the party, Mr. Julius Abure.
Abubakar claimed that the LP belongs to NLC and therefore NLC should be carried along in every decision, adding that the NLC would not allow Abure to impose any candidate on them as national chairman. “The reason is that the National Chairman, Julius Abure, is running the party like his personal property. Everybody should be carried along. He has announced the national convention and wants to hand-pick and impose a candidate on us. This is not the time to hand-pick and impose anybody.
