The NLC is Powerless to Try Anything With the Labour Party -Edun

1. The logic the NLC is propounding in the face of overriding laws is shamefully empty.

   In Ebonyi State, some of my colleagues as affiliate members of the TUC, are registered members of the APC, some PDP.

   How then is it possible for the NLC as a labour organisation to own the Labour Party while many among its individual members are registered members of other political parties?

   That some persons in the NLC leadership thought it wise to have a Labour Union-oriented political party doesn't automatically mean the NLC owns the party.

   Otherwise, persons that are non-members of any affiliated Labour Union have no business being members of the Labour Party and why is the then NLC President Comrade Adams Oshiomole during whose tenure the Labour Party was formed not a member of the party which he has never joined for a day.

   I find it funny how earlier commemters were writing off the Lawyer in the studio probably because he looks or sounds dull but his points of argument using the law is very correct and in consonance with the dictates of the law.

   INEC knows and understands this and that's why all the NLC has done so far has not made the INEC look in their direction.

   The pertinent question now is, why is it that whenever the Labour Party manages to win elections in one or a few places that the internal noisemaking from the NLC against the party starts?

   I simply see it that the NLC wants to micromanage the party leadership to ensure that it has oversight control over whatever financial endowments the party gets from such elected persons.

   I'm imagining the kind of embarrassment the NLC would have caused the Labour Party if HE Mr. Peter Obi had won the Presidential election last year.

   The NLC would have probably insisted that they will have to give Mr. Peter Obi the list of his cabinet members.

   This is food for thought.

7. Labour Party is not NLC! And NLC does not have the powers it thinks it has over LP. Once you create a political organisation that is registered and approve by the electoral commission the party becomes public and belongs to all those who are its members. This is why NRC and SDP of the defunct 3 republic did not belong to Babaginda and/or the military government. The UPN had Awolowo as its leader but that did not give Awo the right to do whatever so also was the NPN. These NLC guys and Obidients just want Abure to go and I do see sense in that (too much drama and corrupt vibes around him) but they’re going about it the wrong way

11. But why is NLC so interested in disorganizing labor party? There are a lot of challenges facing Nigeria and Nigerians today…. Hunger, poverty, unemployment, insecurity, high cost of living yet they are silent but busy talking about labor party…. Shame on NLC and her members…. PDP were formed by G7… Are they still fighting to be relevant in PDP today? NLC please fight for national interest now
