In accordance with a previous decision of its National Executive Council, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leadership has ordered all employees to strive towards the success of the Labour Party in the general election.

This was said in a statement dated February 21, 2023 and signed by Comrade Chris Uyot, National Secretary of the NLC National Political Commission.

As a result, the NLC gave all of its political committee members in the states instructions to step up their efforts to encourage workers and Nigerians to support Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, and all other candidates running for office in the party.

Additionally, it charged the political committees with cooperating with students and their friends in civil society organizations to take all necessary measures to protect the public’s votes by guaranteeing an open, free, and fair election.

The NLC instructed all affiliated unions and State Councils of Congress to cooperate and support political committees as much as possible in order to strengthen their work at the state, local government, ward, and voting unit levels. They also instructed them to make sure that they provide at least 10 ward coordinators and canvassers in order to not only mobilize but also defend the electorate’s votes.
