..”Uzodimma has murdered sleep, and he shall sleep no more”, says the unions
Aviation unions say, they stand together in total condemnation of the beating and brutalization of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, by alleged goons of the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, in the form of official thugs.
They also alleged that, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command is an accomplice in what they described as a barbaric act against Comrade Ajaero.
“While Comrade Ajaero was being beaten up, officers of the Nigerian Police Force, paid by taxes from workers, did nothing to protect him. Instead, after supporting the thugs in their barbaric act against Comrade Ajaero, the Police abducted him to a hidden location and further manhandled him”.
In a statement jointly signed by the scribes of the unions say, they stand ready to act as may be directed by NLC to black out Imo State from the aviation map, and take further actions against the person of Hope Uzodimma as we deem fit, until the needful is done.
“The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma has overreached himself”.
“It is most unfortunate that this story of sheer barbarism actually happened in 21st Century Nigeria. No one thought that a Governor could descend to such abysmal level of disgrace to utilize such crude means of striking back at a perceived enemy, the statement reads.
The General Secretaries of the National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE, Comrade Ocheme ABA, Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals ANAP, Comrade Abdulrazak Saidu, Association of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN, Comrade Frances Akinjole, National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, NAAPE, Comrade Umoh Ofomine say, all aviation workers have been placed on red alert; to stand ready for action against Hope Uzodimma as will soon be directed.
“In all of this, the only crime of comrade Ajaero is acting out his statutory role of fighting for the right of Imo State workers as the President of NLC, in implementing the decision of the National Executive Council of the Congress”.
