The latest development comes after a former chairman of LP in Anambra State, was declared the winner of the presidential primary organised by a faction.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has clarified that it is only Peter Obi’s faction of Labour Party that is recognized.

NLC made the clarification on Thursday.

Recall that Obi recently emerged as the presidential candidate of Labour Party.

NLC’s statement comes after Jude Ezenwafor, a former chairman of LP in Anambra State, was declared the winner of the presidential primary organised by a faction of the party on Wednesday.

Reacting through a statement, the National President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba said that faction is not recognized.

The statement reads in part, “The leadership of the NLC and TUC recognize the leadership of the Labour Party led by Barr. Julius Abure, a former trade union leader and workers are part of the leadership.

“The NLC and TUC are aware of only one presidential primary which was held in Asaba, Delta State on 30th May 2022 and produced HE Peter Obi as its presidential candidate and standard-bearer.”
