 Obi cautions FG over NLC president’s police summons


Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has expressed concern over the recent invitation of the Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, by the Nigeria Police Force.


In a statement on Thursday via X, Obi emphasised the sensitivity of the situation, given Ajaero’s critical role as the leader of the nation’s workforce.


Obi said, “The anxiety generated by Nigeria Police’s invitation to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Mr. Joe Ajaero, for an interview should not be unexpected given the critical position he holds as leader of the nation’s workforce. The NLC is an interlocutor of the Federal Government on various labour disputes and other national interest issues.”


Obi urged that due process be observed, stressing that the allegations against Ajaero are serious, but it remains unclear whether these charges relate to personal conduct or his responsibilities as the NLC leader.


He added, “Extreme caution must thus be exercised in the manner in which this issue is handled. It is not unexpected that government will try autocratic methods to view labour as a potential opposition force.”


The former governor further called on the authorities to adhere strictly to the rule of law and evidence-based procedures in handling the matter.


“Invitations like the one to Ajaero are expected. But the rule of law and the laws of evidence should be observed. Labour should stick to its strengths and powers in order to maintain democratic order and sanity,” Obi stated.


This comes after the Nigeria Police Force summoned Ajaero on August 19 for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, and other related offences.


The invitation letter, signed by ACP Adamu Muazu on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team, warned that a warrant of arrest would be issued if Ajaero failed to comply.


The NLC, in an emergency National Executive Council meeting, resolved to shut down the nation if Ajaero is detained or arrested.


The council urged Ajaero to honour the police invitation while expressing readiness to defend its leader against what it perceives as undue harassment.
