Abuja, Nigeria
The National President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has sparked reactions online with his photos at the COP28 in Dubai, which emerged online. Amidst the outrage over the high number of Nigeria’s delegates that attended the summit, some netizens expressed surprise after seeing Ajaero at the event.
This comes weeks after the NLC president was beaten and brutalized in Imo State by hoodlums allegedly sponsored by the state government prior to the off-cycle election in the state. The incident also led to a nationwide strike before the federal government intervened.
However, Truth Live News gathered that Ajaero’s photos from COP28 have got many Nigerians talking, alleging he was compensated for the incident at Imo State.
Netizens were yet shocked and perplexed as they stated their opinion
“One of the reasons why Nigeria can’t get better. The people who are supposed to be fighting for us are fighting for their pockets. May God see us through.”
“He was beaten up and compensated with a trip to Dubai as a COP28 delegate. Habibi, come to Dubai! Lol no wonder they called off the strike.”
Others have said the NLC chairman went in an official capacity and is there to ensure the decisions reached are people friendly.
