Breaking News: NLC Election Disrupted by siraj1402(m): 6:19pm On Feb 12, 2015 |
The International Conference Centre’s venue of the conference was thrown into confusion as delegates ran for dear lives after some aggrieved contestants and their supports suddenly became violent, hijacking and destroying ballot boxes even while voting was still underway. The 11th National Delegates Conference of the Nigeria Labour Congress was on Thursday abruptly disrupted as aggrieved parties hijack, and smash ballot boxes being used to elect incoming leaders of the organisation, the News Agency of Nigeria is reporting. The International Conference Centre’s venue of the conference was thrown into confusion as delegates ran for dear lives after some aggrieved contestants and their supports suddenly became violent, hijacking and destroying ballot boxes even while voting was still underway. The Conference, which began Tuesday, was organised to elect new leaders for the country’s central labour union following the expiration of tenure of the current executives. It is not clear yet how the event, which had been peaceful since it began suddenly descended into crisis, but the election for the President of the Union had created tension among delegates and split them along partisan lines. After the disruption, the police took over the venue and delegates were sent away, ostensibly to protect the facility from being vandalised. Labour leaders have now reconvened at the NLC headquarters in the Central Business District of Abuja for a meeting, scheduled for 1 p.m., aimed at resolving the logjam. Three candidates had put themselves forward to be elected as President Waheed Omar’s successor. They are the General Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees, Joe Ajaero; the National President of the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Igwe Achese; and National President of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria Ayuba Wabba. For the three deputy president positions, the Non Academic Staff Union is putting forward its General Secretary, Peter Adeyemi, while the General Secretary, National Union of Textiles, Issa Aremu, is contesting unopposed, along with the National President, Nigeria Civil Service Union, Kiri Mohammed. http://saharareporters.com/2015/02/12/breaking-nlc-election-disrupted-aggrieved-parties-hijack-destroy-ballot-boxes

Desperation from the presidency has trickled down to the NLC. The Labour Centre has really lost its independence. 1 Like |

The outgoing NLC President, Comrade Omar Abdulwahid has destroyed the union. After deceiving Nigerian workers to subscribe to a failed Kriston Lally-NLC Housing project, he now wants to install a puppet who will ensure he gets his own share of the interest workers equity contributions yielded in Access Bank. I have never seen a wicked and corrupt man as Omar |
