President Bola Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanugu has accused Nigeria Labour Congress president, Joe Ajero of actively participating in politicking for the November 11 Imo governorship election.
Mr. Onanugu said Ajero who was last week arrested and brutalised by policemen was openly supporting the Labour Party candidate Athan Achuonu.
“Joe Ajaero, with the Labour governorship candidate, (are) playing partisan politics in Imo. And he claims he is fighting for all workers in the state. TUC surprisingly bought the lie,” Onanuga posted on his X page.
This is just as Minister of Aviation Mr. Festus Keyamo lamented the grounding of aviation services Thursday by workers protesting the beating of Ajero in Imo State. Keyamo stated that aviation was not part of the politics in Imo State.
“Their retaliation is aviation. So, please, I want to tell them to leave us alone. Leave aviation alone. You cannot target Aviation in trying to address your grievances.
“I condemn what happened to my friend, Ajero. Nobody should get fisticuffs. But in the same breath, they should not find themselves in the realm of politics,” he said.
