Barring any last-minute change, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, will meet tomorrow in Abuja.
But some workers have kicked against the decision of NLC which claims ownership of the Labour Party, LP, to parley with the APC.
The leadership of the NLC has in many fora bragged about how the labour party has continued to capture power in many countries, adding that with its numerical strength, it was ready to instal a government that would cater for the interest and welfare of workers.
But there have been insinuations that the NLC leadership has not shown sufficient interest in supporting the Labour Party as the leaders of the labour centres are virtually absent in the party’s campaigns.
It was gathered that members of the National Executive Council, NEC, of the NLC have accepted to meet with the APC presidential candidate on Monday.
The NEC according to a source privy to the meeting is expected to meet at labour house about 10 am and thereafter proceed to meet with the APC presidential candidate about 2 pm.
According to the source, the parley will take place either at the labour house Abuja or the International Conference Center.
“Having a parley with the APC does not mean that we have abandoned or disowned our party. We need to hear from other parties to know what they have for workers,” the source said. (Vanguard)
