Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi’s presidential ambition has received a boost as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has stated that it only recognises the Labour Party faction that produced him as the party’s presidential candidate.
For those who don’t know, a former Chairman of the Labour Party in Anambra State, Jude Ezenwafor was declared the winner of the presidential primary organised by a faction of the party on Wednesday, June 8th, 2022.
However, reacting to the confusion within the party, the National President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba in a statement, said;
“The leadership of the NLC and TUC recognize the leadership of the Labour Party led by Barr. Julius Abure, a former trade union leader and workers are part of the leadership.”
“The NLC and TUC are aware of only one presidential primary which was held in Asaba, Delta State on 30th May 2022 and produced HE Peter Obi as its presidential candidate and standard-bearer.”
