The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, has dissociated itself from the mass rally tagged “#Revolution Now!” scheduled for Monday.

It said it was not in league with any group whatsoever for any mass action in any part of the country.

TUC, in a statement issued by its president, Comrade Quadri A. Olaleye, said it had no issues in contention with any public authority that had not been subjected to social dialogue that would require extra ordinary means or action to resolve.

The Congress further stated that if such issues arose, the Labour Centre would go through its internal mechanism to procure authority for such an action, bearing in mind that its organs must be properly briefed and thorough debates would be undertaken before the organs could give approval.

It said in the current situation, no issue had arisen, no organ had been summoned, and no debate had been undertaken.

“Therefore, no such decisions has been taken,” it said.

TUC however held that the opinion that any group or groups reserved the right to express themselves in any manner they deemed fit taking into cognisance the laws of the land.

“TUC remains committed to the corporate existence of this country in which all manner of people enjoy the right of citizenship,” the group said.
