In an interview with Vanguard, Ajaero clarified that President Bola Tinubu was not implicated in the assault against him.

However, he remained steadfast in asserting the involvement of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, in the attack within the state capital.

He stated, “Even if it was an order from Abuja, it was Uzodimma who carried it out. Mr. President couldn’t do this. The day we had a rally in Abuja, he sent for us.

I was still wearing the clothes I wore to the rally when we went to see him. We articulated all the issues that led to the protest.

The other time we gave notice for action, he came with a nationwide broadcast and offered N25,000, and we said no.

He conceded to N35,000, conceded to not just making it for six months, conceded to not giving it only to the least paid worker. You can see that the President is open to negotiations.”
