The Organised Labour has launched a protest against President Bola Tinubu‘s “anti-people” policies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and other states in the Federation.
Members of the Organised Labour with various union regalia gathered at the Unity Fountain in Abuja for the protest on Wednesday morning.
There are also officials from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) from the FCT at the Unity Fountain, as well as many security personnel from the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS).
Ajaero said the response from the states will determine “whether the protest will be from today, or tomorrow or next or till thy kingdom come, it is not by using force”.
“We are here for the protest and to make a statement that since we started negotiation, that there is nothing we have in our hands.”
Last week, the NLC had issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government and demanded “the immediate reversal of all anti-poor policies of the federal government including the recent hike in PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) price, increase in public school fees, the release of the eight months withheld salary of university lecturers and workers”.
