Hon. Nick Ozonsi, a civil rights activist and the former head of the Udi Local Government Area in Enugu State, has charged the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) for engaging in extramarital dealings with the federal government.
He asked the NLC to deal with FG more forcefully so that Nigerians will take them seriously.
During an interview with The Whistler on Monday in Enugu, Ozonsi issued the warning.
He criticised Labour for not acting decisively to force the FG to drop its harsh policies towards Nigerians.
UPDATE: FG To Meet Leaders of NLC And TUC Over Strike
According to him, “Labour’s dealings with the federal government have been negotiations in the bedroom. During the era of Comrade Adams Oshiomole as Labour leader, it was war all the way until Labour’s demands were substantially addressed. But the current Labour is playing to the gallery.
“They have never been able to stand their ground so far. Despite agitations, there has not been any change in workers’ salaries. FG removed fuel subsidies, leading to the high cost of everything, still, Labour is only holding negotiations. Labour’s two-day warning strike is a mere talk. School fees are getting out of hand, and Labour is there watching.
“Labour should maintain their demands from the government, and not when they are called for negotiations, they change positions. This is the same way they change positions in the name of obeying court orders.”
