NLC threatens nationwide shutdown if Ajaero is arrested
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a strong warning about a potential nationwide strike if the Nigeria Police detains its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero. This threat comes amid growing tension and scrutiny surrounding the union’s leadership.

On Tuesday morning, the NLC leadership held an emergency meeting at its headquarters. This National Executive Council (NEC) meeting was convened to address a critical issue: the Nigeria Police’s invitation to Ajaero, who is being investigated over allegations of terrorism financing. The NEC meeting was a response to concerns about the possible detention of Ajaero, and it sought to strategize on how to handle the situation.

During the meeting, the NEC made a significant decision. They resolved that while Ajaero should comply with the police’s invitation, the union’s legal adviser should request additional time for him to present himself before the authorities. This decision reflects the NLC’s commitment to addressing the issue through legal and procedural means while ensuring that their president is given a fair opportunity to respond to the allegations.

Comrade Ado Kabiru Sani, the Deputy President of the NLC, addressed the media after the meeting. He emphasized the union’s stance on the matter and urged the nation’s workforce to stay alert. Sani stated, “As a responsible and organized labor center, we will honor the police invitation because we are a transparent and legitimate organization.

We are working with our legal team to seek an extension of time for President Ajaero to appear before the police authorities.”
Sani’s statement also highlighted the NLC’s readiness to take more drastic actions if necessary. He warned that if Ajaero is arrested, the NLC will call for an immediate and nationwide work stoppage.

“In the event that President Ajaero is detained, all workers across the country will down tools immediately,” Sani declared. He called on workers to remain on standby for further directives from the NLC leadership.

The potential strike underscores the seriousness with which the NLC views the situation. The union’s leadership believes that any unjust action against their president could disrupt not just their operations but also have broader implications for the labor movement in Nigeria. The NLC’s response reflects a broader concern about workers’ rights and the influence of political and legal challenges on labor organizations.

As the situation unfolds, the NLC remains vigilant and committed to defending its president and the rights of its members. The leadership’s stance is clear: while they are prepared to cooperate with legal processes, they are also ready to mobilize their members in defense of their cause. The coming days will be crucial in determining how this situation develops and whether the NLC will follow through with its threat of a nationwide strike.
