Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, has asked the Federal Government to proceed cautiously when handling the accusations made against Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

According to the DAILY POST, Ajaero was called in by the police to be questioned over allegations of criminal conspiracy, financing of terrorism, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.

In response to the police invitation to Ajaero, Obi stated in a post on his official X handle that the invitation was not shocking considering the delicate position the NLC leader has.

He pointed out that the purported transgressions mentioned in the invitation letter are “weighty, with no clarity on the circumstances.”

Obi also questioned if the authorities were blaming Mr. Ajaejo’s leadership or his personal behavior for these accusations.

The post reads in part: “The alleged infractions listed on the letter of invitation circulating on social media, are weighty and there is no clarity on the circumstances and if the authorities are attributing these to personal conduct or responsibilities devolving on Mr Ajaejo as the undisputed leader of NLC.

“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 vow labour as a potential opposition force.

“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.”
