The Nation Newspaper Strike: Is Labour coyly being driven along an ethnic agenda

N494,000 is more than sixteen times the current minimum wage of N30,000. If the Federal Government accepts that as the new minimum wage, and Nigeria’s production capacity does not also increase, times sixteen, it will lead to the mother of all inflation and Nigeria will be turned to the likes of Zimbabwe and Venezuela. Joe Ajaero and his gang are not economists.and are, therefore, fighting a proxy war on his behalf.

Unfortunately, some politicians, pretending to be labour leaders, have since attempted to exploit the consequences of subsidy removal to make Nigeria ungovernable as a way of achieving their ethnic driven motives. Let us for that reason press into service, the inimitable Olatunji Ololade of The Nation newspaper, as per his Thursday, 6 June 2024, piece captioned ‘Angry Joe and His Motley mob’, to put Ajaero and his gang’s gung-ho, I – don’t- care a hoot strike into proper perspective.

Despite his denial, the spectacle of labour leaders wielding canes to beat, and chase staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Service out of their offices, undermines the moral authority of the labour movement in Nigeria. Such thuggery betrays the principles of democratic advocacy, painting Ajaero and his allies as anarchists rather than champions of workers’ rights”.

Ajaero needs be told that no matter his wayo, or his obtuse skulduggery, as long as he is being driven by vain, and selfish ethnic reasons, he will labour in vain because Nigerians have seen through him.
