“Governance has been abandoned for 2027 politicking. Leaders who should be working to alleviate suffering are instead consumed by power games, leaving workers and ordinary Nigerians to bear the brunt of economic hardship and mounting insecurity, all imposed by their policies” – Ajaero, NLC President
*******************************
President Bola Tinubu and Governors have been accused by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) of “stealing workers’ sweat”, systematically crushing dissent, weakening democratic institutions, and unlawfully seizing workers’ contributions.
NLC President Joe Ajaero levelled the charges at the opening ceremony of the 21st NLC Rain School held in Uyo, warning that Nigeria is on the brink of tyranny.
He described Nigeria as a democratic space, the very arena where citizens, especially the working class, face an assault on their rights to free speech, assembly, and participation in governance.
He raised the alarm that the clampdown on civic freedoms and union activities is a calculated effort to silence the voices of workers in the run up to the 2027 election.
“Governance has been abandoned for 2027 politicking. Leaders who should be working to alleviate suffering are instead consumed by power games, leaving workers and ordinary Nigerians to bear the brunt of economic hardship and mounting insecurity, all imposed by their policies,” Ajaero said.
