The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Osun State chapter, has instructed its members in all local government council areas to remain at home pending the resolution of the ongoing political crisis in the councils.

DAILY POST recalls that Governor Ademola Adeleke swore in newly elected council chairmen and councillors in an election held on Saturday.

However, members of the All Progressive Congress, APC, described the election as ‘Illegal’ and commended the people of Osun State for boycotting the election.

The state’s NLC Chairman, Christopher Arapasopo, in a statement, said the NLC resolved not to risk the lives of its members.

The statement reads, “The Osun State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, strongly affirms her earlier release notifying all Local Government Area Workers in the state to withdraw their services as a result of the political upheaval within their workplaces while continuing in their prayers for the state.

The statement further reiterated that members’ safety at work is of high priority and will not allow members to work in an atmosphere of insecurity.

“The Osun State Council of the NLC remains resolute in its commitment to defending the rights and interests of workers and the masses. We shall not be cowed or intimidated by these desperate attempts to silence us. We stand firm in our resolve to uphold justice, fairness, and the rule of law in our beloved state”.
