The leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to down tools nationwide in the event that the Nigeria Police detains its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero.
The union handed down the threat on Tuesday morning at its headquarters, shortly after holding an emergency National Executive Council meeting to discuss the invitation of the NLC President by the police over allegations of terrorism financing.
The NEC resolved that Ajaero should honor the police invitation but noted that their legal adviser should seek more time for the NLC President to appear before the police authorities.
Comrade Ado Kabiru Sani, the Deputy President of the NLC, enjoined the nation’s workforce to remain on standby for further directives should the police act contrary to their expectation of detaining Ajaero.
His words: “As a committed labor center, we will honor the invitation of the police because we are not a faceless organization, but we are working with our lawyer for an extension of time.
“In the event that the President is arrested, all workers will down tools immediately. We should wait for further directives from our leadership.”

Nigeria is a joke. Instead of striving to make things change from bad to good, she is busy chasing shadow. They want to use needless tactics to shut Nigerians up from crying while beating the masses to almost coma. Our leaders are not ready to provide true leadership in this country called Nigeria.
Is NLC President Comrade Ajaero above the law? Has the 1999 Constitution as amended conferred any special immunity on the office of NLC?If not,Comrade Ajaero could be arrested,detained and even arraigned in any court of competent jurisdiction if he commits any offence as an individual or as NLC President.He has no immunity.
The NLC Deputy President should stop threatening us with a nation wide strike.This time around they will fail and fail woefully. Enough of this nonsense.
