The Labour Party has called on the leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, not to incite Nigerians against the current administration in their quest for improved welfare of workers the entire citizenry.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr. Abayomi Arabambi, made the call in Abeokuta while addressing newsmen on the state of the nation.
The labour Party spokesperson said the labour union leaders’ call on different groups for protest was an illegal action capable of causing chaos in the country.
Dr. Arabambi while noting that it is the right of workers to embark on industrial action until government meet their demands however, noted that the NLC president’s call for street urchins to protest against the government was a ploy to execute the opposition party’s ambition to unleash violence to overthrow the government.
The Labour Party Publicity Secretary then called on the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Security to be on alert before the proposed second of August protest.
Dr. Arabambi as well called on NLC President, Mr. Joe Ajaero to withdraw the threats of violence and charged the security agencies to save the nation’s democracy by questioning those bent on destabilizing the country.
The Labour Party leadership also urged the Federal government to sack the leadership of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, for what it called opaque financial records.
The party said the leadership of the company had failed to consider the welfare of Nigerians in its operations stating that the pain being suffered by Nigerians on petroleum was due to mismanagement of the nation’s crude oil.
