Ikenga Ugochinyere has tackled the Federal Government over its invitation to Nigerian Labour Congress, President Comrade Joe Ajaero.
Ugochinyere, the member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives asked FG to deal with the terror of hunger and hyperinflation in the country instead of its current attack on Ajaero.
Recall that Ajaero was invited by the police over alleged criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime.
The lawmaker urged the Nigeria Police to channel their energy on curbing the worsening insecurity in the country.
Ajaero’s invitation letter, which was signed by Adamu Mu’azu, an assistant commissioner of police, indicated that Ajaero is expected at the intelligence response team complex in Abuja.
Reacting to the invitation, Ugochinyere, the spokesperson of the opposition coalition lawmakers stated that it was clear to everyone that the NLC President did not commit any terrorism or murder.
While recalling that he had been through such situations, he called for the invitation to be withdrawn, adding that any move by the police to detain Ajaero
might lead to another nationwide protest.
Ugochinyere said: “Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, President didn’t commit any terrorism or murder challenge, drop it, so you don’t bring people back on the street and create confusion for the President. If you want to help President Tinubu go and chase out these bandits in the forest. Find out why crude oil is still being stolen.
“You don’t help the President by inviting the NLC President and accusing him of murder and treason. Stop it!!!!! The President needs help, there’s insecurity,
that’s why there’s economic hardship, that’s why food products are high. That’s the real terror that you need to deal with, not Comrade Ajaero.
“I have to advise the Nigerian police, that there’s no basis for this now, what Nigerians need now more enhanced security, more involvement in security
agencies in quelling security challenges across all parts of the country instead of inviting the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress for a chat over
his involvement in terrorism.”
