The Presidency on Thursday accused the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, of playing partisan politics in Imo State ahead of Saturday\u2019s governorship election.<\/p>\n

Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu\u2019s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, made the remark while faulting Ajaero\u2019s claim of fighting for workers in the state.<\/p>\n

Onanuga was reacting to Ajaero\u2019s meeting with the Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in the state, Athan Achuonu.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Onanuga lamented that the Trade Union Congress, TUC, bought Ajaero\u2019s lies of fighting for workers.<\/p>\n

An online user, @DavidsOffor had posted: \u201cHere is Joe Ajaero, the Partisan NLC President in a HAPPY mood with Imo State Labour Party\u2019s gubernatorial candidate, Athan Achuonu. This same Ajaero has shut down Imo State because of his huge interest in seeing the unpopular Achuonu win the election on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time every Imolites resist the high-handedness of the labour union Leadership. Imo State is currently without light for days now, no fuel supply, teachers and health workers have downed tools etc because Ajaero wants to raise public sympathy against the Governor, so sad.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the question is Imo state the only place the off-season elections are holding, why is Ajaero picking only his home state? His position as NLC President has brought so much pains in the state. NLC has never been dragged this low.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting, Onanuga wrote: \u201cJoe Ajaero, with Labour governorship candidate playing partisan politics in Imo. And he claims he is fighting for all workers in the state. TUC surprisingly bought the lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
