The Nigeria Labour Congress has settled for a consensus
candidate to succeed Comrade Ayuba Wabba who is bowing out of office as
president of the apex labour union in Nigeria.
Wabba has served out two terms of four years each. He became
NLC President in 2015 after an election that was marred with controversies.
To this end the 13th Quadrennial National Delegates
Conference of the union has been fixed for Tuesday 7th February 2023 at the
International Conference Centre Abuja.
Wabba’s first term as President of NLC was marred by crisis
from opposing factions, which contested the election but lost out.
It took the efforts of past leaders of the union to broker
truce between the warring factions, a development that culminated in the
bringing on board of Joe Ajaero, General Secretary of the National Union of
Electricity Employees (NUEE) as Deputy National President.
There are indications that the National Administrative
Council of the NLC may have settled for Ajaero to succeed Wabba.
The theme for the 13th Quadrennial National Delegates
Conference is “Building Peoples’ Power, National Unity and Quest for a New
Social Contract”.
The event which sometimes become a rallying point for
political office seekers to sell their mandate is expected to attract local and
foreign dignitaries, including the former NLC President, Adams Oshiomhole.
