AMOSUN’S THREAT TO WORKERS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENT, NLC PRESIDENT, COM AYUBA WABBA
President of Nigeria
Labour Congress, Comrade Ayuba Wabba has described a statement credited to
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State that he cannot guarantee the safety of
NLC members on labour’s planned protest in the state as unfortunate and highly
irresponsible.
Speaking to newsmen on the development, Wabba noted that it was important
to remind the governor that he was elected into office by the same workers
whose lives he is now threatening.
The labour leader however vowed that labour would not be deterred nor
discouraged by Amosun’s threats to its lives and that of its members, promising
that he and his men will rely on God Almighty and its members for protection
during today’s protest in the State.
Labour is protesting the non-payment of 15 months workers salary, non-remittance
of pension fund contributions and non-payment of workers cooperative deductions
among many other anti-labour policy of the Ibikunle Amosun-led government of
Ogun State.
