On September 5 and 6, the NLC initiated a two-day warning strike.

Commenting on the situation, Emmanuel Upah, a representative, stated, “If you go back to the Communique issued, it was emphatic on when the ultimatum will expire; which is tomorrow but it was not emphatic on when the action will start. That leaves that at the discretion of the NEC (National Executive Council).”

While discussions between Labor and the Federal Government concerning post-subsidy removal support for workers, particularly at the federal level, have not been concluded, both government officials and NLC leaders described their recent talks as “fruitful.”

The meeting was convened following a request from the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong.

Some of the key demands put forth by NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) include wage adjustments, tax exemptions and allowances for public sector workers, the provision of Compressed Natural Gas buses, the release of modalities for the N70 billion fund for Small and Medium Enterprises, the release of National Union of Road Transport Workers officials detained by the police, and the resolution of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria crisis in Lagos, among others.

Additional demands encompass the immediate reversal of all anti-poor policies of the Federal Government, including the recent hike in petrol prices, the increase in public school fees, the release of eight months’ withheld salaries for university teachers and workers, and the rise in Value Added Tax (VAT).

NLC President Joe Ajaero emphasized Labor’s readiness to engage with the government at any time to address their demands and prevent the planned strike. However, he noted that decisions regarding the presented demands rest with the Presidency.

According to him, despite the pressure and financial difficulties, he rejected the offer and chose to remain committed to his principles.

“I was approached with cash by members of a political party to alter my content. They said they were going to change my life, that I’m earning crumbs, you know, give me dollars,” he said.

He explained that he was told to come to Abuja where he would be “changed” financially, but insisted he could not compromise his values for money.

“I looked at it and said no, I am who I am. I’ve never been involved in anything illegal or influenced by money to do something against my principles,” he added.

Kevinblak also declined to name the political party involved, referring to it only as “Amuneke’s party,” a reference to a fictional character in his skits, and warned against attempts to publicly identify it.

He further noted that people close to him have also faced similar approaches but have refused, stressing that his circle is made up of individuals who uphold strong personal values.

The founder and pioneer National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has spoken on the ongoing internal crisis in the party, blaming it on internal conflicts and disruptive individuals.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that Nwosu made the comments during an interview with Punch, where he explained the background to several decisions taken within the party over time.

He explained that stricter rules were introduced to prevent individuals from joining the party and quickly securing tickets without proper screening of their intentions.

According to him, the decision was influenced by past experiences involving internal challenges that affected party stability.

Nwosu also confirmed that Dumebi Kachikwu was expelled during a party convention, adding that the party later moved on to support the Labour Party presidential candidate during the general election.

He accused Kachikwu of playing a destabilising role within the party, describing his actions as destructive and harmful to its unity.

The ADC founder insisted that Kachikwu is no longer a member of the party, saying his claim to still represent the party was no longer valid following his expulsion.

He also criticised Kachikwu for continuing to publicly present himself as a presidential candidate of the ADC, stating that such a position had already expired.

Nwosu further alleged that ongoing tensions within the party are being influenced by a mix of internal actors and external interests, which he said has distorted the true nature of the dispute.

He added that individuals linked to the crisis have become entangled in broader political narratives, insisting that the situation is being exaggerated in the public space.
