A Stand for Safety: The NLC framed the teachers’ strike as a desperate, necessary act of self-preservation, noting that educators are no longer willing to wait until they are “slaughtered to the last person” before taking action.

National Emergency: The Congress highlighted the abduction of teachers and schoolchildren in Oyo State’s Oriire Local Government Area as a breaking point, expressing deep sorrow over images of victims suffering in captivity. They emphasized that this is a national crisis spanning from Zamfara to Port Harcourt.
-
Broader Vulnerability: Beyond the education sector, the NLC warned that healthcare workers, local government employees, and nurses are increasingly becoming targets for bandits and kidnappers, which threatens to collapse essential services and public trust.
-
Government Accountability: The NLC criticized the government’s habitual responses, urging officials to move beyond “ritual” condolences and empty promises of being “on top of the situation” toward tangible, measurable security improvements.
-
Threat of Solidarity Actions: Recalling that past warnings and a 2024 nationwide protest went unheeded, the NLC warned that if the government fails to demonstrate a genuine commitment to security, they will not hesitate to mobilize further solidarity strikes alongside teachers and other affected workers.
The Congress concluded its message with a firm ultimatum: “Free the abductees now, wherever they are held!”

Highlighting the APC’s performance during his leadership in the 2023 elections, Omo-Agege noted that the party secured two of the three senatorial seats in Delta State. He further emphasized his influence by pointing out his victory in Delta Central, where he claimed to have defeated the governor’s candidate by a margin of roughly 15,000 votes. Omo-Agege also attributed the recent wave of defections from the PDP to the APC to his post-election mobilization efforts across the state. Despite the Governor’s shift in party affiliation, Omo-Agege expressed confidence in his political influence and remains certain of his electoral base leading into 2027.
