The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba,
has reacted after he was on Tuesday declared wanted by the Governor of Kaduna
State, Nasir El-rufai.
Wabba had on Monday led workers in Kaduna State on a warning
strike to force El-rufai to rescind his decision to sack workers in the state.
The action by the NLC led to the grounding of economic and
social activities in the state with workers in the railway, aviation, medical
sector and others joining the protest staged by the Congress.
Reacting, Governor El-rufai, in a tweet yesterday, said the
NLC and its protest displayed some unlawful actions. He accused the Congress of
“shutting down electricity, coercion and restraints of personal freedom, trespass
into public facilities and denial of access to healthcare for several of our
citizens.”
In an update today, the governor said, “Ayuba Wabba &
others of @NLCHeadquarters declared wanted for economic sabotage & attacks
on public infrastructure under Miscellaneous Offences Act. Anyone that knows
where he is hiding should send a message to @MOJKaduna KDSG. There will be a
handsome reward!”
Reacting, the NLC Chairman, while leading a protest of
striking workers to the government house on Tuesday, dared the governor to
arrest him.
“Let him come and arrest me. We are here and waiting for
them,” he was quoted by Dailytrust.
