Ajaero not working for APC, says NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress has debunked Tuesday’s allegation by the leadership of the Labour Party that its President, Joe Ajaero, had struck an accord with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise the Labour Party.

Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary of LP, in his statement alleged that Ajaero had mandated the NLC to create a crisis within the LP and undermine it ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Meanwhile, Prof. Theophilus Ndubuaku, the Deputy President of the NLC Political Commission, reacting on Thursday, he discharged the claim that Ajaero was working for the ruling APC.

He stated, “How can the NLC President, who was almost killed in Imo State, be working for the APC? Is that not laughable? With what happened to Ajaero in that state, we could have shut down the country if we wanted to. We only decided to be mature about it.

“How can anybody label Ajaero as an APC member? Unless, of course, you don’t know who he is to the Nigerian labour movement.”
