▪︎ Joe Ajaero, NLC President
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed its organ – the National Administrative Council (NAC) – to take immediate steps to rebrand the party.
The NLC tasked the NAC to take steps to merge or form a coalition with like-minded parties to defend LP’s interests and those of Nigerian workers in the party.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, by its President Joe Ajaero, the NLC said these decisions would return the LP to its original ideological roots.
The NLC has failed to recognize the leadership of the party under Julius Abure as the National Chairman after a convention in Anambra State returned him as the party’s national chairman.
It reads: “After carefully examining the unfortunate events in the Labour Party, which was a creation of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the opaqueness that pervades its activities, NEC-in-session directed the National Administrative Council (NAC) to take immediate steps, which may include rebranding, merger or forming of coalitions to defend the interests of NLC and Nigerian workers in the party to reclaimreturny and returning it to its original ideological roots.
“The congress will not allow the Labour Party to be hijacked by reactionary forces who do not represent the aspirations of the working people and broader Nigerian people.
The NLC remains committed to ensuring that the party remains a true vehicle for the emancipation of Nigerian workers and the oppressed masses.”

National Summit on The Future of Nigeria Underway , courtesy of The Patriot and NPSG
The proposed national summit, initiated by The Patriots in collaboration with the Nigerian Political Summit Group (NPSG), and scheduled for May 28 and 29, according to the organisers, is aimed at facilitating broad national consensus on the most suitable and inclusive governance system for Nigeria.

A National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy, will hold on May, 28, and 29.
The proposed national summit, initiated by The Patriots in collaboration with the Nigerian Political Summit Group (NPSG), is aimed at facilitating broad national consensus on the most suitable and inclusive governance system for Nigeria.
The members of the Convening/Coordinating Committee, Inaugurated yesterday, includes former governors, Chief Gbenga Daniel (Ogun State), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto State), former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; publisher, African Newspapers of Nigeria (ANN) Plc, publishers of the Tribune titles, Ambassador (Dr) Tokunbo Awolowo Dosumu, and other eminent Nigerians.
The event, chaired by a former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, marked the formal commencement of preparations for the National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Chief Anyaoku, who remains a towering figure in national and global diplomacy at the age of 92, set the tone for what many see as a crucial national dialogue.
He declared that Nigeria’s current constitutional arrangement, anchored on the 1999 Constitution (as amended), remains fundamentally flawed and ill-suited for a pluralistic society like Nigeria.
“We believe we can use this summit to achieve the making of a constitution that will serve this pluralistic country better.
The 1999 Constitution, however amended, cannot serve Nigeria well,” Anyaoku said.He argued passionately for the return to a truly federal constitution reminiscent of Nigeria’s early independence years (1960–1966), a period he recalled as one of more effective governance, regional progress, and national cohesion.
That federal system, he noted, allowed Nigeria to flourish before the advent of military rule.”
