Alleged Terror Financing: NLC Mobilises Members For Ajaero’s Appearance At Force  Headquarters

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed all state chapters and affiliate members to mobilise members in solidarity with the NLC President Joe Ajaero, who is expected to honour police invitation for alleged terrorism on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

General Secretary of the NLC, Emmanuel Ugboaja, confirmed the directive to our correspondent.

 

According to the NLC general secretary, the directive also instructed members from across the states to mobilise and embark on a peaceful procession to their respective state police commands and stay there until the NLC president is out of the police interrogation.

Meanwhile, NLC members in Abuja are also expected to do same, with some leaders of the labour union accompanying the union president to the police investigation office.

Specifically, in a circular released by the NLC General Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja, asked all affiliate unions, state councils and national officers to mobilise their members to show solidarity for Ajaero on Thursday.

He directed that all members of the congress in the nation’s capital should assemble at Labour House, Abuja on Thursday to show their solidarity, adding those at the state level should commence strike action immediately if Ajaero is detained.

The circular read, “In Abuja: All CWC members resident in Abuja and other members are expected to assemble at the National Headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress by 8:00 AM on Thursday, August 29, 2024 to accompany the President to the police for the scheduled interaction.

“In state capitals: Members should gather at their respective state Secretariat of Congress. From there, they will embark on a peaceful procession to their state police headquarters, where they will hold a prayer session until the president’s interaction with the police is concluded.

 

“This peaceful march is a united stand against the unjust actions aimed at intimidating our leadership and stifling the voice of Nigerian workers. We urge all members to remain peaceful and orderly throughout the procession and prayer session.

 

“If for any reason, the president is detained, all workers nationwide shall proceed on indefinite strike. Your unwavering support and solidarity at this critical time are crucial to defending civic rights and the integrity and rights of the labour movement.

 

“Together, we shall overcome these challenges and continue to uphold justice, fairness, and democracy in our dear nation.”
