As a prominent member of the 8th Senate in the National Assembly, I can categorically say Ajaero is not fit to lead NLC now and ever.

 

 

Joe Ajaero ; flying the kite of opposition
Sen. Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi

 

The NLC at the beginning was indeed hope of the commoners, downtrodden and majority of the working class. Great history students would have learnt about the great exploit and leadership under Late Pa Micheal Imoudu. The late labour leader along with others fought the imperialist leadership during the colonial regime. Same can be said of Alhaji Hassan Sunmonu, a labour leader under the despotic and tyrannical military dictators. Those were men who risked their lives for the betterment of the citizens in general.

The political dispensation developing in Nigeria is with a bi-cameral legislature at the centre. They are empowered to put checks and balances on the executive arm of Government

There is no gainsaying that past government messed up, vandalized and strangulated the economy. The PBAT government is fighting tooth and nail to bring things under control, hence the plea from time to time to the nation.

Ajaero calling for strike all the time is quite unreasonable, unfortunate and mere playing to the gallery.
Ajaero as a foremost labour leader before becoming NLC President should have been a voice for the masses, instead Ajaero was a spokeperson and highly partisan in the 2023 Presidential election where he rooted firmly for Labour Party man H.E Peter Obi. It can be concluded that Ajaero is flying the kite of opposition in order to run down the government of PBAT. Ajaero is a staunch Labour Party member. Can Ajaero be trusted ?

Where was Ajaero when Mr. Godwin Emefiele punished us all with his unnecessary ‘no cash policy’ ? The commoners and downtroddens suffered greatly and many lives were lost.

Where was Ajaero when crude oil ,our commonwealth was sold by last regime into the future ànd multi million dollars were squandered

It can be asked, from whom did Ajaero had his tutelage ? Since 1992, majority of our labour leaders were using the NLC as a steppingstone to Politics, Pascal Bafyau, Adams Oshiomole on my mind. Ajaero is more than welcome to join politics when 2027 comes.

Ajaero must be told that various states labour leaders seem to be focused with the assignment of betterment of the state workers. They have little trust in Ajaero’s leadership. Imagine Ajaero has called for strike four times within the nine months of the PBAT administration.

Though , there is hardship in the land and our economy is struggling but the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be given a fair chance to stabilize the country and find urgent and cogent solution to the hyper-inflation, banditry , insecurity ,epileptic unstable power supply and high unemployment in the country.
So far, part of our nation debt paid, strategic policies like :

1. Forest guards have been mentioned.

2. Moribund and Comatose Refineries are almost back to life.

3.Reduction with
potential to get to
nought on crude-oil
theft.

4. Release of grains from National Storage in order to cushion the hunger effect.

5. The President,
most strategic and
coordinating
Ministers are
giving
feedback(situation
report) to
Nigerians as at
when due.

6. Effort is ongoing
for the creation of
State Police

We must say NO to any nationwide strike and protest.
We must pray and support the government of the day.

God bless Nigeria.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE 

 

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

 

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.

 

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
