In a statement on Thursday, Obi encouraged the NLC to not be intimidated by Ajaero’s police summons and to continue holding the federal government accountable.

Obi, who received support from the NLC during the 2023 presidential election, advised the government to act with caution and urged the police to adhere to legal procedures in handling the Ajaero case.

He stated, “The concern raised by the police’s invitation to NLC President Joe Ajaero for questioning should come as no surprise, considering his pivotal role as the leader of the nation’s workforce.”

Obi highlighted that the NLC serves as a key intermediary between the federal government and various labor disputes, and this role should be recognized by the authorities. He also pointed out that the allegations mentioned in the invitation letter, which has circulated on social media, are serious and lack clarity regarding whether they pertain to Ajaero’s personal actions or his responsibilities as NLC leader.

He cautioned against any heavy-handed or autocratic actions by the government and emphasized that while such invitations may be anticipated, adherence to the rule of law and evidence is essential. Obi urged the NLC to focus on its strengths and maintain its role in upholding democratic principles and governance.
