The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has disassociated itself from the factional leadership of Mr Lamidi Apapa, the Labour Party (LP) suspended Deputy National Chairman.
A statement signed by the Secretary, of NLC Political Commission, Comrade Chris Uyot warned that any attempt to allow Apapa to foist what he described as “the show of shame” exhibited by him and his minions on Tuesday at the sitting of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal would be strongly resisted by Organised Labour.
“It is very unfortunate that Mr. Lamidi Apapa who continues to act lawlessly as an impostor ascribing to himself a vague status as the Chairman of the Labour Party and on the claims of representing the Nigeria Labour Congress, is clearly receiving protection from institutions of the state whose mandate is the preservation of law and order.
“The Labour Party which was founded by the Nigeria Labour Congress more than three decades ago confers institutional membership on the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC). Institutional representation of Organised Labour in the leadership of the Labour Party is at the behest of nomination by the leadership of the national labour centres, or from the affiliate unions or state councils of the NLC and TUC.
“As of today, the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Oyo State Council of the NLC which Mr Apapa Lamidi claims affiliation have completely disclaimed giving Mr. Lamidi Apapa any mandate to act on their behalf in the Labour Party in any capacity whatsoever thus disowning him. The national leadership of the Congress then wonders who Mr Lamidi Apapa is representing in the Labour Party.
