Labour Party: Utomi’s 3rd Force Movement Asks Abure To Postpone Convention

The National Consultative Front (NCFront), a key caucus in the Labour Party led by Prof Pat Utomi, has joined calls for the postponement of the proposed contentious National Convention of the Labour Party  to allow for more consultations and the cooling of nerves.

It also urged the national chairman Julius Abure to rally key stakeholders of the Labour Party, including the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), National Consultative Front initiated Big Tent of the 3rd Force Movement, elected political office holders on the Platform of the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement in general in order to get a major political consensus on the proposed National Convention.

The group said this is not a time for personality contests or altercations among the various caucuses and forces in the party but for reasoned, strategic consultations that will ensure inclusivity in the affairs of the Labour Party for future strength and triumph.

A statement by the director of Administration of NCFront,

Barr Promise Adewusi, said the NCFront has followed, with keen interest, the controversies evolving around the proposed National Convention of the Labour Party scheduled to hold in Abia State at the end of March 2024.

The statement said, “There is no gainsaying that the Labour Party has emerged, too suddenly, as the beautiful bride of Nigerian Politics, a major success, which also has its drawbacks, part of which is the desire of its adversaries to see it demobilized and its enviable strides halted.”
