Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has congratulated the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, over the emergence of Comrade Joe Ajaero as its new national president.
He also congratulated the 15 other members of the new executive committee of organised labour.
The congratulatory message by Atiku, contained in a press statement signed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, read that the emergence of Ajaero was an indication that the NLC was keeping faith with its mandate of protecting the interest of the masses.
Atiku noted that the new NLC national president was a consummate unionist, and it was clear that his tenure would engender good tidings for the Nigerian workers.
“Comrade Joe Ajaero has a career of unflinching commitment to unionism, and it is only deserving that he has emerged as the number one union leader in the country,” Atiku said.
The frontline presidential candidate remarked further that while he continued to campaign and ensure that he became the next president of the country, he expressed optimism in working hand-in-hand with the new NLC leadership to recover Nigeria, if elected in the upcoming general elections.
He prayed for God to grant His wisdom and courage to the new leadership of the NLC so as to deliver on its mandate.
