Governor Uzodinma Accuses NLC President Ajaero of Blending Politics with Unionism
Governor Hope Uzodinma has levied allegations against the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, claiming that he has mixed politics with his role in the labor union.
Uzodinma, who hails from Imo State, asserted that Ajaero has actively engaged in local politics, suggesting that it may be influencing his actions as a union leader.
Speaking after receiving the flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party’s governorship candidate for the November 11 election from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the governor refuted any involvement in the attack on the labour leader, which took place on Wednesday.
Uzodinma disclosed that his intervention was required to reinstate NLC leaders in his state who had been suspended and replaced with a caretaker committee.
