Edo NLC rejects Ajaero’s caretaker committee, accuses him of plot to impose Olaye.

The Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has rejected a five-member caretaker committee constituted by NLC National President, Joe Ajaero. 

The committee is allegedly orchestrated by Chief Odion Olaye, who was previously rejected by workers in the state.

The state NLC, in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Bernard Egwakhide, and the Assistant Secretary, Omole Osahon, while accusing Ajaero of attempting to impose Olaye on Edo workers through a contrived arrangement, cited Olaye's past threat that "Edo will burn" if a certain politician did not win an election, and vowed not to allow him to lead the union by proxy.

Emphasizing that the current leadership under Egwakhide, which emerged after Olaye's removal by affiliate unions, has maintained peaceful labour relations, the state NLC called on the Federal Ministry of Labour to respect workers' rights and prevent undue interference, warning that they would resist any attempt to impose Olaye through the backdoor.
