The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has leveled serious accusations against unnamed government agencies, claiming they are behind the ongoing crisis within the Labour Party (LP) in an attempt to weaken what it describes as "the only major political platform pushing working-class ideology" in Nigeria.

NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, made these allegations on Wednesday during a special National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Labour Party held in Abuja, where he addressed party leaders and stakeholders.

"All agencies of government are involved in this destabilisation plot—whether it's the Labour Party or the Labour Congress—that is what we are seeing. There is no worker or labour leader that is not conscious of this," Ajaero stated emphatically.

The labour leader expressed deep concern over what he termed as "systematic external interference" designed to erode the ideological foundations of the party. He characterized the situation as a "calculated assault" on a political movement that offers hope to Nigeria's underprivileged majority.

Ajaero also questioned the legality of recent court rulings that allegedly override a consent judgment previously recognized by all parties involved. He suggested that such judicial anomalies point to a broader agenda to undermine the party's autonomy and independence.

Reaffirming the NLC's position as custodians of the Labour Party, Ajaero maintained that the congress remains resolute in its commitment to preserving the party's working-class identity and resisting efforts to hijack it by political elites.

He further disclosed that the NLC still holds the party's certificate of registration and has formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to challenge any misinformation regarding the certificate's status.

The accusations come amid ongoing internal conflicts within the Labour Party, with various factions contesting for control of the party structure. The NLC's intervention highlights the growing tension between labour movements and political interests in Nigeria's increasingly complex political landscape.
