According to Jesutega Onokpasa, a Nigerian lawyer and member of the All Progressives Congress, Joe Ajaero, the leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress, and Festus Osifo, the leader of the Trade Union Congress, are not fighting for the interests of the Nigerian labor force; rather, they are fighting for their own financial gain.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
This claim was made by Jesutega Onokpasa in an Arise Television interview with a journalist. Jesutega Onokpasa stated in the interview that “Joe Ajaero and Festus Osifo, the labor leaders, drive the same car as I do. I used my earnings to purchase my automobile.
