  Viola Davis Rejects Target’s Apology Over “Blackface” Halloween Costume Viola Davis has rejected Target’s apology after the retailer pulled a controversial kids’ Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel and blackface imagery. Target removed the $25 "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown" costume from its Hyde and EEK!

 LP supporters storm NLC stakeholders meeting, ask Ajaero to leave Abure alone


Some supporters of the Labour Party(LP) on Monday stormed the venue of the ongoing stakeholders meeting by the Political Commission of the Nigeria Labour Congress, asking the (NLC) President, Joe Ajaero to stop interfering in the affairs of the party.

 

The meeting is holding at the AGNL garden (events and entertainment complex), Gudu, Abuja.


The LP members asked Ajaero to focus on “fighting the anti-people policies of the Federal Government,” Instead of fighting the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure.


The supporters accused Ajaero of plotting to take over the affairs of the party.


The crisis within the party deepened last month with LP founding fathers calling for the sack of Abure.


Abure was returned as chairman of the party at the National Convention of the party in Awka last month.


The outcome of the convention further deepened the crisis in the party with the Board of Trustees of the party announcing the take over of the affairs of the party.
