Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has described the detention of Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Imo State, as an act of lawlessness, impunity, criminality, and rascality in Nigeria.
Chronicle NG reported that officers of the Nigerian Police detained Ajaero during a protest in Imo State.
Obi posted on his verified X page, “What happened to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero, in Imo State yesterday has come as a rude shock to most Nigerians. It says a lot about the state of affairs in our country today”.
Obi said, “It shows the level of lawlessness, impunity, criminality, and rascality that have engulfed our dear country.
“Things like this should worry any discerning mind because they run counter to the type of country that we all desire and deserve.
“In the New Nigeria of our dreams, abuse of power and the reckless violation of citizens’ rights through acts of impunity will have no place.
