 The Nigerian Labour Congress has thrown its weight behind the Labour Party presidential flag bearer Peter Ubi ahead of the 2023 presidential election. NLC President Ayuba Waba promised to mobilize members and affiliates of the Union across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria to ensure victory for the LP presidential candidate. Waba, while speaking at the National Retreat of Labour Party on Monday, September 13, 2022 in Abuja, said the membership of the NLC and all its affiliates is 12 million and the organised Labour would deliver it to Ubi. Also Nigeria's because Nigeria is so much divided along many primordial interests and many interests that are self-centred that we need to address. No country in the world can prosper and work in unity if the country is so divided. So one of the responsibilities of Labour Party is to unite Nigerians along a common goal of development and prosperity. So once again comrades, I know that this is just a welcome message but it's to remind us where we're coming from. It's to remind us of the enormous task of what we need to do and to promote candidate of the Labour Party but also go to the field. Particularly our youth, I'm so happy that the youth have aligned themselves with the structures and the struggle of the working class with their parents because we are actually parents to the students and the youths and I'm happy that they are now realising that agonising alone without organising cannot take us anywhere. So let us organise at all levels, let us send a message at all levels and I assure you that as Britain did it in 1945, we are all the structures. We are actually won by the Labour Party and recently because my General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation is from Australia, recently Australia also did the same. So I will give you the history in the business session of how that is done, what perspectives we are bringing to the table and what structures we need to activate. Not that we don't have structures, we have structures, human beings are the structures, it's just to activate the structures.
