The 2023 African Action Congress (AAC) presidential
candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State of
attempting to assassinate the National President of the Nigerian Labour
Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.
Sowore urged NLC to shut down Nigeria until Uzodinma is
removed from office.
Recall that some miscreants had disrupted NLC’s protest in
Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The NLC president was in Owerri to mobilize Imo workers for
a mega protest rally in the state over an alleged violation and abuse of rights
and privileges of workers by the state government.
The violence that broke out during the rally led to men of
the Nigeria Police Force whisking away Ajaero.
Amid backlash from some Nigerians, the police quickly denied
arresting Ajaero, saying the NLC president was taken into custody following an
attack on him.
Reacting, Sowore posted on X: “This barbarism is
unacceptable, @HopeUzodinma sent thugs to assault and possibly assassinate
@NLCHeadquarters President Joe Ajaero.
“The @NLCHeadquarters ought to shut down the country until
the Imo State Governor and his thugs are removed from office. #RevolutionNow.”
