The NLC said this while demanding an immediate reversal in the increase in the price of petrol in a statement issued by its president, Joe Ajaero.

Reacting, the Citizens for Democratic Dividends tackled the NLC.

In a statement signed by its executive director, Ahmad Idris, the group accused Ajaero of fighting for himself and not Nigerians.

The group said:

“When Nigerians were facing unbearable hardship and called for nationwide protests, Ajaero and the NLC turned a blind eye. They refused to participate in the protests, prioritising their minimum wage agreement over the suffering of millions of Nigerians.

“Now, faced with accusations of treason and alleged involvement in a plot to overthrow the government, Ajaero seeks to drag the NLC and the Nigerian people into his personal legal battles. This is a clear attempt to use the labour movement as a shield to escape justice.”
