AJAERO: TUC PRESIDENT OSIFO ACCUSES FG OF INTIMIDATING LABOUR MOVEMENT
The President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo, has faulted the invitation of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, by the police, accusing the Nigerian government of intimidating the labour movement.
The police on Monday invited Ajaero for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, cybercrime and other related offences.
But speaking as a guest on a television programme, Osifo asked the authorities to unveil the offences allegedly committed by Ajaero.
“You could see that as of today, there was a response from our lawyer, Femi Falana, saying that the government should come clean and tell us what are the offences.
“They should open up much more because Nigerians need to know. The way it is generally perceived today is that you are muzzling the labour movement. Joe Ajaero does not present himself. Anything that he is doing, he is doing it on behalf of the members of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“For us, we will continue to be advocates to push government to do what is right in all ramifications. The final thing that we will do is to shut down the oil and gas industry so that the refinery can work.”
