Ajaero Arrest Threat: NLC Commences Nationwide Mobilisation

Published

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a stern warning to the Nigeria Police, threatening a nationwide strike if the threat to arrest its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero is actualised.

This decision was made during an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the NLC headquarters on Tuesday following the police invitation to Ajaero and the threat of arrest should he fail to show up.

The meeting was convened to address the police invitation to Ajaero over allegations of terrorism financing.

The NEC resolved that Ajaero would honor the police invitation, but requested an extension of time through their legal adviser.

Deputy President Comrade Ado Kabiru Sani addressed the nation’s workforce, stating:

“We will cooperate with the police, but if our President is arrested, all workers will down tools immediately. Remain on standby for further directives from our leadership.”

The NLC asserts its commitment to peaceful resolution while standing firm against any perceived intimidation.

GWG.ng reports that the threat of arrest and response from the NLC follows the shocking conviviialtiy that saw Ajaero in warm discussions with President Bola Tinubu during the negotiations for the new National Minimum Wage.

It would be recalled that Ajaero was despite his initial hardline posture commended by some for moderating the expectations of the working class in accepting the N70,000 minimum wage despite earlier assertions that the NLC would not accept a five figure minimum wage and hence the surprise about the threat of his arrest.
