This was stated in a letter sent on Wednesday in Abuja to all affiliates and state councils by NLC General Secretary Emmanuel Ugboaja. The letter is headed, “Mobilisation for Peaceful Procession and Prayer Session in Solidarity”.

The Police has invited Joe Ajaero, the president of the NLC, for questioning on allegations pertaining to suspected “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion and cybercrime”

According to Ugboaja, the procession is in response to Ajaero’s recent call from the police to appear in August for questioning on false accusations.

“We call on all NLC affiliates and state councils to mobilise their members in Abuja and across the states to show solidarity.

“All Central Working Committee members resident in Abuja and other members, are expected to assemble at the National Headquarters of the NLC by 8:00 am on August 29.

“This is to accompany the President to the Police for the scheduled interaction” he said.

He advised people who were in the state capitals to congregate at the state secretariats of Congress. In order to hold a prayer session until the President’s meeting with the Police is over, Ugboaja advised them to make a nonviolent procession to their State Police Headquarters.

“This peaceful march is a united stand against the unjust actions aimed at intimidating our leadership and stifling the voice of Nigerian workers.

“We urge all members to remain peaceful and orderly throughout the procession and prayer session.

“If for any reason, the President is detained; all workers nationwide shall proceed on indefinite strike.

“Your unwavering support and solidarity at this critical time are crucial to defending Civic rights and the integrity and rights of the labour movement.

“Together, we shall overcome these challenges and continue to uphold justice, fairness, and democracy in our dear nation,” he added.
