TUC President: Workers Have Right to Protest, Not Interested in Politics But Welfare of Members
- TUC president Festus Osifo says union members have a right to protest as it is a fundamental right of every Nigerian
- Osifo states that the TUC is not interested in politics, but rather the welfare of its members and Nigerian masses
- Osifo says Tinubu's statement telling labor to wait until 2027 to enter politics is "alien" to the TUC
- Osifo explains that the TUC did not agree to join the recent NLC protests, so did not opt out or sell out
- Osifo says there were no prior discussions or agreements with the NLC about protests that the TUC then backed out of
