The United Action Front of Civil Society has, again, expressed sadness over the bestial brutalization of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero, which was orchestrated by Supreme Court Governor, Hope Uzodima of Imo State, in a bid to thwart a popular mass protest of Labour in Imo State.
–Comrade Joe Ajaero in pains
“Our group wishes to state that this sort of brutality and dehumanisation of the leader of the Nigerian workers has never happened to any leader of the Nigerian Labour movement in the annals of the Labour Movement in Nigeria; not even during the Abacha bestiality in the dark days of the military did this happen. The closest attempt in Kaduna during the last regime failed.
–Comrade Joe Ajaero in pains
“Hope Uzodimma has definitely crossed the Rubicon for ordering his attack with police and thugs beating up and brutalising the Leader of all Nigerian workers. So, he is advised to resign immediately and leave Nigeria or risk public embarrassments from Nigerian Workers and Masses henceforth wherever he goes” the group, United Action Front of Civil Society of Nigeria, fumed.
Revealing this in a statement at the weekend, its Head, National Coordinating Secretariat, Olawale Okunniyi (Veteran Che), further stressed: “Similarly, we find the Bola Tinubu government liable of complicity in this episode of bestiality displayed by the heavily armed force of the Nigerian Police, who stormed the take-off venue of the Workers’ Rally in Imo and abducted the NLC President to brutalise and murder him because they claimed the workers defie a Court injunction.
“To this end, we demand that Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is presently at the head of the reckless Nigerian State should tender an unreserved public apology to Nigerian workers and the President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, within the next three days or risk an unprecedented mass actions capable of shutting down State business indefinitely.
“Enough is Enough! Nigeria belongs to the Nigerian people and workers. We can no longer tolerate this executive recklessness and impunity of the APC rule. It is time to decide who owns Nigeria. APC government has committed an heist against the Nigerian people and workers and it must be atoned for in a big way,” Okunniyi further stressed./SHARE THIS
