NLC Threatens Nationwide Strike Over Ajaero’s Terrorism Financing Allegation

NLC Threatens Nationwide Strike Over Ajaero’s Terrorism Financing Allegation

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a stern warning, mobilizing its members for a potential nationwide strike starting at midnight on Tuesday, following a standoff with the Nigeria Police over the invitation of its President, Joe Ajaero, for questioning on terrorism financing allegations.

The decision was made during an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja, where the NLC condemned the police’s actions as politically motivated. The labour center directed all state chapters and affiliates to prepare for an indefinite strike if anything happens to Ajaero.

This development follows a controversial night raid by the police on the NLC’s national secretariat in Abuja. The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, justified the raid as part of efforts to track down a terrorist linked to the Sudan crisis and search for materials connected to the recent #EndBadGovernance protests, which turned violent in some parts of the country.

Ajaero has been summoned to appear for questioning on allegations of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, and subversion. The NLC, however, views these charges as baseless and a clear attempt to intimidate the labour movement.

In a communique signed by NLC Deputy President Ado Sani Minjibir, the NEC expressed grave concern over what it called a “calculated attempt to stifle the voice of the working people and their leadership.” The NLC vowed to take all necessary actions, including mass protests and industrial action, to protect the integrity and independence of the labour movement.

Despite agreeing to honor the police invitation, the NLC has requested an extension, citing prior engagements. Their legal counsel, Femi Falana (SAN), has written to the police requesting a rescheduled date and further details on the allegations against Ajaero.

The NLC also called on civil society organizations and the general public to stand in solidarity with the union during this critical period. The labour body warned the government to cease its alleged witch-hunt against its leaders, emphasizing that the movement would not be silenced.

The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has also expressed concern over the situation, urging the Federal Government to respect labour rights and free speech. They criticized the government’s approach, describing it as an attempt to stifle dissent in response to unfavorable policies.
