The Nation Newspaper NLC to members: Be on alert for immediate nationwide action if Ajaero is not released
reports Ajaero was whisked away by the heavily armed operatives at Union’s protest in Imo state on Wednesday.
The statement reads: “The Government of Imo state has continued to use the instrument of violence and intimidation against trade unions and their leadership in the state. Just as Nigerian workers gathered earlier this morning led by the leadership of the two labour centres to demonstrate our outrage over the serial and habitual abuse and violation of the rights of workers in the state; the Government unleashed blood-cuddling mayhem on the workers.
“As if that damage was not enough, the President of the NLC; comrade Joe Ajaero arrived at the venue accompanied by a few individual workers to inspect the carnage and to provide the necessary leadership for the trade union action to continue only to be met by policemen of the Imo state Police Command who came in their numbers and in several trucks.“The Police in the usual manner accompanied by thugs led by the Special Assistant to the Governor of Imo state on Special Duties: Mr.
“We call on Nigerian workers, wherever they may be; in the respective industrial Unions; the state councils, and the Branches to be on alert for an immediate nationwide action if, by the end of today, the President of the Congress is not released. We cannot be at work while our President is in the gulag and we cannot be at peace when the Government of Imo state continues to disrespect workers and treat them with utter disdain.
“Hope Uzodimma must be called to order by the President and Commander in chief of the Armed forces to avert what he has chosen to turn the state into – a den of thugs and bloodsuckers. We will press on with our engagement as trade unions until the Government listens to the demands of the workers.
