NLC President Joe Ajaero Is Playing Politics With Imo Guber Election – Presidency Alleges

The Presidency has accused Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, of playing partisan politics in the Imo state governorship election slated for Saturday, November 11.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu made this allegation in a statement via his X handle on Thursday.

He stated, “Joe Ajaero, with the Labour governorship candidate playing partisan politics in Imo. And he claims he is fighting for all workers in the state. TUC surprisingly bought the lie.”

The presidential aide faulted the NLC president, dismissing his (Ajaero) claim of fighting for workers in the state.

Onanuga’s reaction comes on the heels of Ajaero’s meeting with the Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in the state, Athan Achuonu.

According to Onanuga, the Trade Union Congress, TUC, bought Ajaero’s lies of fighting for workers.
