The Presidency slammed the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, for saying that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu betrayed labour leaders by increasing the petrol pump price.
Ajaero had alleged that labour accepted the N70,000 national
minimum wage based on an understanding that the pump price of PMS would not be
increased.
Reacting to Ajaero’s allegation, Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Print Media, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, on his verified X handle,
@Abdulfagge, said he was in the last two meetings where Tinubu met with Labour
leaders, noting there was nowhere an offer was made in exchange of fuel price
hike.
Abdulaziz described Ajaero’s claims as “dirty politics”
aimed at manipulating the emotions of Nigerians.
He said that he attended the two meetings and no offer was
made in exchange for a fuel price hike, contradicting Ajaero’s assertions.
“I sat through the two meetings President @officialABAT had
with Labour leaders on minimum wage. At neither of the meetings was an offer
made in exchange for the fuel price hike.
“Ajaero is once again playing his dirty politics with the
emotions of Nigerians,” Abdulaziz said.
