The Nation Newspaper NLC labouring in politics
‘The NLC made a big mistake by openly aligning with a political party in the general elections, as that reduced them to partisans, which colours their genuine labour interests’, Comrade Joe Ajero, in Owerri, Imo State, last week, should be condemned by all and sundry. While the police passed it off, as affray, arising from intra-labour union conflicts, the NLC insists that the attack was orchestrated by the police in cohorts with agents of Imo State government.
The NLC and its affiliate, the Trade Union Congress , have called a strike for Wednesday, to protest the brutalization of Ajaero. They demanded the transfer of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State, which has been effected. The CP was accused of being complicit in the attack on the Comrade. On its part, the Imo State government approached the National Industrial Court, presided over by Hon.
To compound the issues raised against the union leader, because he is from Imo State, there is the presumption that beyond his affiliation to LP, he is an interested party in the outcome of the election. In a statement released by the NLC media, there is a claim that the state government and the police have sent thugs to invade the Azalla Owalla Emekuku community, in Owerri, Imo State, the hometown of Ajaero.
