Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is waiting for the President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu to unveil his agenda for workers before making pronouncements on national issues.
Its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, said the organised labour would go against the interest of workers.
Recently, the Arewa Youth Assembly (AYA) alleged an alliance between the leadership of the organised labour with the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to scuttle Tinubu’s inauguration.
Ajaero, who was on a visit to the headquarters of the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) in Abuja, described the statement as a blackmail.
He, however, cautioned the spokesman of the president-elect, Mr Bayo Onanuga, and the Imo State Government against sponsoring malicious publications against the union’s leaders.
The labour centre accused Onanuga and Imo government of using some names to push out publications against the NLC and its leadership and advise them to avoid crossing the red line and creating enemies for the incoming administration.
He said the worst thing that would happen to their principal is for them to see the NLC as an enemy.
Ajaero, however, said the congress is awaiting the incoming administration to unveil its agenda for workers before it could comment on it.
He said: “When people try to blackmail us that we are trying to truncate their inauguration, that is the cheapest blackmail. If we want to do anything, we come out openly and announce it to the world.
“We want to plead with the likes of Bayo Onanuga, some satanic information been circulated by the Imo State Government. They are now using some names to push out publications against the NLC and its leadership. We want to advise them that they’re crossing the red line and they’re creating enemies for the incoming administration.
