Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, has accused Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, President Joe Ajaero of transforming the organization into a tribal union.
Omokri stated that Ajaero transformed the NLC into a union that backed the presidential ambitions of Labour Party, LP, candidate Peter Obi in 2023.
He said that Ajaero would destabilize any administration that was not led by Obi.
Tweeting, Omokri wrote:
“Does it not constitute a conflict of interests to have as President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, a man like Joe Ajaero, who campaigned for and endorsed Peter Obi for President? Obviously, the man cannot be neutral.
“He will be interested in undermining any government not presided over by Peter Obi.
“He is an Obidient, and Nigerians should not be obedient to him. He is turning the NLC into a tribal parapo union in support of Peter Obi’s ambition.”
Omokri’s claims follow threats by the NLC to embark on an indefinite strike over relief measures for fuel subsidy removal.
Ajaero had said the federal government had more than enough time to resolve the dispute and address the concerns of the labour movement but chose not to do so.
