The President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo, denies political motives behind Joe Ajaero’s visit to Imo State, stating it’s to address longstanding labor issues.
Osifo accuses the Imo State government of orchestrating the attack on Ajaero and politicizing the incident. Labor unions declare a nationwide strike from November 14 in protest.
The TUC boss highlights that the labor challenges in Imo began in 2020, predating Ajaero’s NLC presidency.
The situation escalates ahead of the November 11 governorship poll, with tensions between labor unions and the incumbent governor, Hope Uzodimma.
