The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to handle the allegations levelled against the president of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, with extreme caution.
Recall that the police summoned Ajaero for questioning over
a case of alleged criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony,
subversion, and cybercrime.
Obi, while reacting to the police invitation to Ajaero, in a
post via his official X handle, said the invite should not be unexpected given
the sensitive position the NLC leader occupies.
He noted that the alleged infractions listed on the letter
of invitation are “weighty, with no clarity on the circumstances.”
Obi also wondered if the authorities are attributing these
allegations to personal conduct or responsibilities devolving on Mr Ajaejo as
the leader of NLC.
The post reads in part: “The alleged infractions listed on
the letter of invitation circulating on social media, are weighty and there is
no clarity on the circumstances and if the authorities are attributing these to
personal conduct or responsibilities devolving on Mr Ajaejo as the undisputed
leader of NLC.
“Extreme caution must thus be exercised in the manner in
which this issue is handled. It is not unexpected that government will boot try
autocratic methods to vow labour as a potential opposition force.
“Invitations like the one to Ajaero are expected. But the
rule of law and the laws of evidence should be observed. Labour should stick to
its strengths and powers in order to maintain democratic order.”
