The Citizens for Democratic Dividends in Nigeria (CDDN) has criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its president, Joe Ajaero, for allegedly attempting to deceive Nigerians. The CDDN rejected the NLC’s recent claims, labeling them as an insult to the intelligence of Nigerians.
The NLC had accused the federal government of betrayal over the recent fuel price increase, demanding an immediate reversal. However, the CDDN accused Ajaero of fighting for personal gain rather than the interests of Nigerians. The group claimed that Ajaero and the NLC turned a blind eye to Nigerians’ suffering during previous protests, prioritizing their minimum wage agreement instead.
The CDDN also alleged that Ajaero is using the labour movement as a shield to escape justice, following accusations of treason and involvement in a plot to overthrow the government. The group questioned Ajaero’s sincerity in fighting for Nigerians’ rights, suggesting that he is more concerned with personal interests.
This development highlights the ongoing tensions between the NLC and the federal government over the fuel price increase and other economic issues. The CDDN’s criticism of the NLC and Ajaero adds another layer to the complex situation, with different groups and individuals holding varying opinions on the matter.
